[[!meta title="Who is a locker administrator?"]]
For technical reasons (part of the signup process involves giving
the scripts server access to the web\_scripts directory) as well as
practical ones (only authorized users should be able to act on
behalf of the locker), we require that anyone who is setting up
scripts services for a locker be a locker administrator.

You can view the locker administrators with the command **fs la**
(filesystem list access), e.g.:

athena% **attach scripts**  
athena% **fs la /mit/scripts**  
Access list for /mit/scripts is  
Normal rights:  
  system:scripts-root rlidwka  
  system:anyuser rl

Any entry with lowercase “a” at the end indicates a locker
administrator. If the entry starts with “system:”, it refers to a
Moira list; otherwise, it is a username. (The notable exceptions
are system:anyuser, which refers to the public, and
system:administrators, which includes only IS&T staff.) You can
usually find out the members of a list with the command
**blanche**, e.g., **blanche scripts-root**. (Generally, you can
also just e-mail the list.)

If you are not an administrator of the locker, you should find an
existing administrator and ask them to give you access with the
**fs sa** (filesystem set access) command:

athena% **attach** *locker*  
athena% **fs sa /mit/***locker* *username* **all**

If you are unable to contact any locker administrators, you should
have someone appropriate (e.g., an officer of the student group),
which may be you, e-mail
[accounts@mit.edu](mailto:accounts@mit.edu).
