1 [[!meta title="Who is a locker administrator?"]]
2 For technical reasons (part of the signup process involves giving
3 the scripts server access to the web\_scripts directory) as well as
4 practical ones (only authorized users should be able to act on
5 behalf of the locker), we require that anyone who is setting up
6 scripts services for a locker be a locker administrator.
8 You can view the locker administrators with the command **fs la**
9 (filesystem list access), e.g.:
11 athena% **attach scripts**
12 athena% **fs la /mit/scripts**
13 Access list for /mit/scripts is
15 system:scripts-root rlidwka
18 Any entry with lowercase “a” at the end indicates a locker
19 administrator. If the entry starts with “system:”, it refers to a
20 Moira list; otherwise, it is a username. (The notable exceptions
21 are system:anyuser, which refers to the public, and
22 system:administrators, which includes only IS&T staff.) You can
23 usually find out the members of a list with the command
24 **blanche**, e.g., **blanche scripts-root**. (Generally, you can
25 also just e-mail the list.)
27 If you are not an administrator of the locker, you should find an
28 existing administrator and ask them to give you access with the
29 **fs sa** (filesystem set access) command:
31 athena% **attach** *locker*
32 athena% **fs sa /mit/***locker* *username* **all**
34 If you are unable to contact any locker administrators, you should
35 have someone appropriate (e.g., an officer of the student group),
36 which may be you, e-mail
37 [accounts@mit.edu](mailto:accounts@mit.edu).
