Restricting Access by BU Status

When to use

Use this code when you want a file to be viewed only by BU status: student, faculty, or staff, for example. Visitors will be prompted to give their BU login name and Kerberos password when they try to view files restricted in this way.

CODE EXAMPLE:

Notes

1. Copy and paste this code as outlined in Protect Your Subdirectory. You must modify the code. Replace type with one of these names:

   student
faculty
staff
guest

2. You can limit access to several statuses. Simply add additional require status type lines below the first instance in the code above.
   
3. The Office of Personnel and the Registrar determine an individual's status. That status is part of the individual's official record.
   
4. Additionally, you can restrict access based on any of these more finely defined substatuses:

   Substatus	Description	Refinement of
   research	Research scientist	Faculty
   admin	Administrative staff	Staff
   campus_police	Campus police staff	Staff
   buildings_grounds	Building and grounds staff	Staff
   registered	Registered student	Student
