User-Set Lists
In access control list entries, these forms specify all the local users who are
members of the group identified by group-name or group-num. This includes
users who have been specified as members of the group with the MEMBER clause
in an ADD or ALTER GROUP command.
*.* and *,*
each specifies all the local users defined for your system.
\node-spec.group-name.*
\node-spec.group-num,*
each specifies all the users (local users and network users) who are members of a
particular group.
\node-spec.*.*
\node-spec.*,*
both specify all the users (both local and network) who are defined for your system.
User-Set Lists
A user-set list provides a shortened way to specify two or more users and user groups.
The value of user can be any of these:
group-num, member-num
group-name.member-name
group-num,*
group-name.*
*.*
*,*
SAFECOM also supports wild-card characters within group names, and user names
except in ADD commands or when those names designate access control list entries.
This user-set list specifies all the members of the local group OPS, the local user
PUBS.SUE, and all members of local groups whose names begin with the letters SY:
=ALTER USER (ops.*, pubs.sue, sy*.*), OWNER 12,2
User Aliases
A user alias is an alternate name assigned to a specific user ID or user name. The
user can log on to the system using the alias. When the user is logged on as an alias,
the Safeguard software bases access control decisions on the underlying user ID.
