    Hi,
    
        What are the process minimum privileges needed for a account to

	: What are the process minimum privileges needed for a account to : mount tape ? Uh, why don't you try testing this in your specific environment? (What's the real question here?) Which operating system? (You're in the Generic Alpha conference.) Since I usually associate "privileges" with OpenVMS, I'll assume... Typically, TMPMBX is required, at a minimum. VOLPRO and other privileges may/will be required for specific tapes, and for specific MOUNT command qualifiers. Operators can also assist with MOUNT/ASSIST tape operations with commands such as REPLY/BLANK_TAPE, etc. And device ACLs and device protection masks can be used to allow otherwise non-privileged users to perform various operations on specific tape devices. And OpenVMS use-of-privileges and object-access-related auditing can be used to determine exactly which privileges are needed or missing for a particular operation... (VAXAXP::VMSNOTES is a better spot for straight OpenVMS questions.)
