The NEWUSER command enables the system
administrator to define a new user within an account.
The administrator can also assign
the user a password and capabilities, and can limit the user's use of
system resources. Parameters defining these values may also be omitted
from the command line; in this case, defaults are assigned to the user.
Syntax | |
NEWUSER username[.acctname]
[;PASS=[password]][;CAP=[capabilitylist]]
[;HOME=[homegroupname]] [;UID=[(uid)]]
|
Parameters | |
- username
Specifies the name of the user. The name must consist of
from one to eight alphanumeric
characters, beginning with an alphabetic character. - acctname
Specifies the account in which the user is to reside. You must have
account manager (AM) capability to use this parameter. - PASS
Specifies the user password, used for verifying logon access only. The
password must consist of from one to eight alphanumeric characters,
beginning with an alphabetic character. The default is that no
password is assigned. - CAP
Specifies the list of capabilities permitted for the user.
Each capability is indicated by a two-letter mnemonic, separated
by commas, as follows:
SM = System manager
AM = Account manager
AL = Account librarian
GL = Group librarian
DI = Diagnostician
OP = System supervisor
NA = Network administrator
NM = Node manager
SF = Save files
ND = Access to nonshareable I/O devices
UV = Use volumes
CV = Create volumes
CS = Use communication subsystem
PS = Programmatic sessions
LG = User logging
PH = Process handling
DS = Extra data segments
MR = Multiple RINs
PM = Privileged mode
IA = Interactive access
BA = Batch access
|
The default is IA, BA, ND, and SF. Note the following points about this parameter:
Capabilities assigned to the user cannot
exceed those assigned to the account. Any capabilities removed from the account are denied to the
user. The user's capabilities are always verified to be a subset of the
account's capabilities at logon. This prevents a user from having a
capability not assigned to the account.
- HOME
Specifies the name of an existing group to be assigned as the user's home
group. The first user established when an account is created, by default,
has PUB assigned as the home group. Subsequent new users, by default,
have no home group assigned. If no home group is assigned,
the user must always specify a group
when logging on.
