    You cannot hide files in the DataPower filesystem property wise like chmod might do.  You can have users consolidated to certain domains and disallow access to others which means they would not get access to those folders, but that is an RBM Settings feature -- see https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-datapower-rbm-resource-types for more.

    To add technically you can 'hide' files visibly by having a period '.' in front of them (as long as it isn't the cert directory).  I would caution against using this for a few reasons, first that it isn't an access permission based, it just visibly hides it (we probably will still see it in FlashFiles of the error report).  2nd there was previous discussion about deprecating support for files with a period, although nothing has come of that deprecation yet, it does not seem like the best recommendation in case they do fully deprecate the ability to have files starting with a period.

    Hi DOMINIC MICALE,

    Thank you for given the response,

    As per your statement can hide with . starting, where we can look again and how to unhide those.

    Files beginning with a period are visible in the FlashFiles@datapower.ibm.com section of the error report (Troubleshooting -> Error Report -> Generate Error Report)

    To make it visible again you would have to remove the period in the front, eg, move temporary:///.file temporary:///file, that is the logic the file is hidden visibly in the GUI File Management and CLI dir command.

    I'm confused about the use of the word "hide". Based on the "access profile" in the "user group" and how RBM is configured, you can control select "users" can see or do. You can configure the "access profile" to include a specific directory in the file system and specific files in a directory.
