Segments, Traits, and Operators

Information about data set profile segments dictionaries, traits dictionaries, and operators.

Segments

 

Segments that are NOT documented below are considered Experimental.

 

Note that just because a Segment is considered Stable that does not mean that all of the Traits in that Segment are considered Stable. See Traits for more detail.

 

The base segment is always included in DataSetAdmin.extract() by default.

 

When using the DataSetAdmin.extract() function, the following is the current list of additional segments that have been tested and validated. Feel free to experiment with any of the segments defined in pyracf/data_set/data_set_admin.py in the pyRACF source code.

 

Segment	Description
base	Describes a data set profile’s Base attributes.

Traits

 

Traits that are NOT documented below are considered Experimental.

 

Some Traits can be set to False to delete their existing values.

 

When using the DataSetAdmin.add() and DataSetAdmin.alter() functions, the following are valid data set profile traits. Feel free to experiment with any of the other traits defined in pyracf/data_set/data_set_admin.py in the pyRACF source code.

 

Traits use the following syntax: <segment>:<trait>

 

Trait	Description	Valid Types
base:universal_access	Set a data set profile’s Universal Access level.	str

Operators

Operators can be prepended to traits using the following syntax: <operator>:<segment>:<trait>

 

Valid Operators: add, remove, delete

Key-Value Pair Traits

Operators are generally not needed for key-value pair traits. For key-value pair traits, setting the value to a non-False value with no operator will generally set or overwrite the trait and setting the value to False will generally unset or disable the trait.
