The read protection feature prevents unauthorized programs or users from reading protected data.
You can read-protect specific components to prevent unauthorized programs or users from reading the data. These components can't be compressed or encrypted.

sadmin read-protect [ -i ] pathname1 ... pathnameNSpecify the full path for each component to be read-protected.
Paths can include wildcard characters. When using wildcards, make sure that the specified string matches a limited set of file paths or file names. If the specified string matches many files, we recommend you revise the string.
Paths can include the * and ? wildcard characters. When specifying a file path,
C:\Test1\*\*\Test.text,C:\?Test*\Test1\Test.txtare allowed while*:\Test1\*\*\Test.txt,*\Test1\Test2\Test.txt, and*:\Test1\Test2\Test.txtare not.
