NEWGROUP groupname[.acctname]
[;PASS=[password]] [;CAP=[capabilitylist]][;ACCESS=[(fileaccess)]]
|
Parameters | |
- groupname
Specifies the name of the new group, which must consist of from one to eight
alphanumeric characters, beginning with an alphabetic character. - acctname
Specifies the account in which the group is to reside. You must have
system manager (SM) capability to use this parameter. - PASS
Specifies the
group password, used for verifying logon access only. The default is
that no password is assigned. - CAP
Lists capability class attributes consisting of any or all of the
following:
BA = Local batch access (default)
DS = Extra data segments
IA = Interactive access (default)
MR = Multiple RINS
PH = Process handling
PM = Privileged mode
|
This list imposes a limit on program files belonging to the group. You cannot
assign a capability to the group if it has not been defined
for the account in which the group resides. - ACCESS
Specifies the restriction on file access pertinent to this group.
Valid syntax options are as follows:
{R
L
A
W
X} [,...]: {ANY
AC
GU
AL
GL} [,...]
|
where R, L, A, W, and X specify modes of access by types of users (ANY, AC,
GU, AL, and GL) and are defined as follows:
R = Read
L = Lock (exclusive file access)
A = Append (implies L)
W = Write (implies A and L)
X = Execute
S = Save
|
The user types are defined as follows:
ANY = Any user
AC = Member of this account only
GU = Member of this group only
AL = Account librarian user only
GL = Group librarian user only
|
You can specify two or more user or access types if you separate them with
commas. The defaults for the public group (PUB) are: The default for all other groups is:
Operation Notes | |
Usage You can enter this command from a session,
a job, a program, or in break mode. Pressing Break does not affect
this command. You must have account manager (AM) or system manager
(SM) capability in order to use this command. Creating the group structure The system administrator creates accounts and designates someone, called the account manager, to
manage
the accounts. As an account manager, you can
use the NEWGROUP command
to create groups within
each account and to assign attributes. The attributes assigned to
the group may not exceed those permitted for the accounts themselves
(defined when the system administrator created the accounts); however, within
account limits, you can redefine the group and user
attributes and capabilities, as well as those of the PUB group. PUB group The PUB group is initially assigned the same
capability class attributes, permanent file space limit, CPU limit, and
connect-time limit as the account, but
without a password. Its initial security allows
read (R) and execute
(X) access to all users (ANY) who successfully log on to the account, and
append (A), write (W), lock (L), and save (S) access to the
account librarian (AL) and group users (GU) only. These access provisions are as follows: Parameter omissions When you specify a parameter but omit its corresponding value
(as in ACCESS= Return), the default value for the parameter is
assigned (in this case, R,L,A,W,X:AC). The default is also assigned
when you omit an entire parameter group (such as
ACCESS=fileaccess).
