Creating or Modifying Multiple Groups
The gtraits console command has an interactive mode in which you can execute group-related
commands without entering gtraits each time. Use this mode when there are a number of gtraits
commands you want to enter in succession.
To enter the gtraits interactive mode:
1. Enter superuser mode at the console.
2. Type:
NRCS-A# gtraits i
>
The command replaces the normal system prompt with an angle bracket (>) to indicate that
you are in interactive mode. At this prompt, you can enter any gtraits command, such as
changegroup or add, without typing the gtraits command for each operation.
For instance, to add the 5pmproducers group, type:
> add 5pmproducers
If you were not in interactive mode, the entire command line would be required, such as:
gtraits add 5pmproducers.
3. Type
quit or q to leave interactive mode.
4. Press Ctrl+D to leave superuser mode.
Adding Users as Members of a Group
There are three possibilities for membership in a group:
• An individual user can be a member of a group.
• One group can be a member of another group (making all the users of the first group
members of the second).
• A workstation can be a member of a group.
This section provides the procedure for adding a user to a group. You must be at an iNEWS
Workstation to change group membership.
To add individual users to an existing group:
1. Open the System folder from the Directory panel.
2. Open the Groups queue.
