Adding New Users
Adding New Users
When a new system is initialized, only these two users exist:
•
A super ID user with the user name SUPER.SUPER and the
user ID 255,255
•
A null user with the user name NULL.NULL and the user ID 0,0
With the ADDUSER program, the super ID user creates new groups and adds new users
to these groups. After being added by the super ID user, a group manager can also use
the ADDUSER program to add new users to the group. For each new user, a user name
and corresponding user ID must be specified.
For example, on a new system that was just initialized, the system manager (super ID
user) can create a user group named ADMIN with group ID 6:
1. With the ADDUSER program, the system manager creates a group manager:
2. The group manager can now add new users to the group. For example, the
ADMIN.MANAGER user can now use the ADDUSER program to add these users
to the group:
As many as 256 groups with a maximum of 256 users in each group can be created
for each system.
3. The new user can log on with the TACL LOGON command to access the system:
If ADMIN.JOAN has a password (which was supplied by the super ID user or group
manager), the user enters this password at the “Password:” prompt. Otherwise,
ADMIN.JOAN should press Return at this prompt. In either case, the user should use
the PASSWORD program to change or select a password (provided the system requires
a password).
The TACL program displays its prompt, which is a number and a greater-than sign (>).
ADMIN.JANE can now enter TACL commands or run an application program.
For more information about logging on to the system and passwords, see Section 2,
Getting Started With TACL.
