Identifying User Groups
alias
is a case-sensitive text string of up to 32 alphanumeric and special characters. The
first character of an alias name must be alphabetic. The following special
characters are allowed in an alias name: period (.), hyphen (-), and underscore (_).
Identifying User Groups
User groups are created implicitly with the ADD USER command and explicitly with the
ADD GROUP command. Groups created with the ADD USER command are always
administrative groups. Groups created with the ADD GROUP command can be either
file-sharing groups or administrative groups.
Group Names
A user group name has the following form:
group-name
is a case-sensitive text string that can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters in
length. In addition to alphabetic and numeric characters, the characters period (.),
hyphen (-), and underscore( _ ) are permitted within the text string. The first
character of a group name must be alphabetic or numeric.
Administrative group names have more restricted syntactical requirements. An
administrative group name is one to eight alphanumeric characters long, the first of
which must be alphabetic. In most SAFECOM commands, an administrative group
name is case-insensitive. The alphabetic characters are assumed to be uppercase.
However, group names specified in GROUP commands are case-sensitive, and
the alphabetic characters in an administrative group name must be entered as
uppercase characters in these commands.
Group Numbers
A user group number has the following form:
group-number
is a number in the range 0 through 65535. It must be unique within the local
system.
Administrative group numbers must be in the range 0 through 255.
