Requirement 2.2.1.12

[Christine Draper <cdraper@us.ibm.com>]

All,

I disagreed with the following requirement, because it seemed to be asking for something that should be defined within the install artifact, not within the SDD - i.e. it is instructions on how the content should be installed. Requirement 2.2.1.4 already deals with privileges needed by the invoker of the lifecycle operation. If the content being installed has to be assigned different ownership/privileges, then the invoker will need administrative privileges and the install logic that handles the artifact in the target environment will need to set that ownership/privilege - but this should be based on information in the artifact, not the SDD.

Does anyone have a use case to explain what the intent of 2.2.1.12 was? UC 39 doesnt help me, it just says a non-admin user should be able to install non-system software.


ORIGINAL:

2.2.1.12 Installed component privileges: The SDD specification must support the definition of user privileges/ownership appropriate for the installed content. Where certain level of privileges are required, it is RECOMMENDED, as a best practice, to use the minimal level of required privileges in any environmental requirement.UC: 39
