To control other users' access rights to your ecflow server you can define a white list file (ecf.lists).
ECFLOW white list file is a way of restricting the access to ecFlow to only known users.
The file lists users with full access and users with only read access. The read-only user names start with '-' (dash/minus). Note you must include a version number, e.g. 4.4.14 as the first non comment line.
The environment variable ECF_LISTS is used to point to the white list file.
The white list file is an ASCII file.
When creating a white list file (ecf.lists) be sure to include your user name with read/write privileges. Otherwise you can be locked out of your own server.
