DESCRIPTION

The commands in the pts suite are an interface to the Protection Server, an AFS server process that plays a central role in authorization.  It maintains the Protection Database, which maps user name to AFS UID for all users in the cell, and records the membership of system and user-invented groups.  The File Server consults the Protection Server to determine if users are entitled to the type of access they have requested.  There are pts commands that allow system administrators and regular users to create, modify and delete Protection Database entries.
