OpenEdge installations should be done as Root. During the installation, setting a Umask can easily prevent non-root users from being able to modify the installation. Umask takes away permissions depending on bitness and the level used. The following diagram shows the results of entering each number in a Umask command and the effects on permissions.
Examples:
If permissions should only be open for root, to restrict other users then a
022 Umask can be used to take away write permissions for everyone but root.
If there is a group for root that should have write permissions then a
002 Umask would work.
