Chapter 7: The AFS File System
If your machine is accessing AFS via a translator node, you do not get authenticated when you log in, and in fact you can't run the pagsh or klog programs discussed in section 7.3.1. You cannot access your AFS login area. You only have access to directories for which an ACL is defined for system:anyuser. You have access to files in those directories according to the ACL entry for system:anyuser and the file owner bits, as usual.
At Fermilab most of the UPS products are set with read permissions (rl) for system:anyuser, thus allowing access to products maintained in the /afs products area from a machine running in translator mode. This is not true for products that are site-licensed (e.g., edt), which are made accessible only to users on site.
