Since the group ID definition record controls all settings for Pages 2 through 5 of the
user ID definition record, you will not be able to access those pages. If you enter the
name of a defined group ID definition record in the Group ID field of the UMS : User
Details panel, UMS prohibits access to any other UMS panels for the user ID definition
record. Individual users can change the personal information on the UMS : User
Details panel.
Note All user ID definition records associated with a group ID definition record have the same GUID.
Note that all user ID definition records that belong to the group share the same
security characteristics, user procedure library, MSGPROC procedure, and GUIDs.
You can change an attribute of every user ID definition record in the group by
changing it in the group ID definition record added in Step 1.
Configuring User ID
Definition Records of
Virtual Users
Virtual users provide an environment in which NCL procedures and NonStop
NET/MASTER MS commands can be executed without using a terminal. When a user
uses the SUBMIT command to submit a command or an NCL procedure to a
background environment for processing, a virtual user performs the work on the
user’s behalf.
Virtual users enable you to perform tasks after you log off. For example, you can
direct a virtual user to perform operations at an hour you specify. Detailed
instructions for submitting commands to virtual users appear in the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS Operator’s Guide. The NonStop NET/MASTER NCL Programmer’s
Guide explains how to write NCL procedures to submit commands to virtual users.
NonStop NET/MASTER MS creates a user ID for each virtual user by appending a
four-letter identifier to the domain ID of the current system. The domain ID is
specified by the PARAM DID command; its default value is the first four
alphanumeric characters of the current node’s name (excluding the backslash). Each
virtual user is distinguished by the role it plays and, in some cases, by the destination
to which it sends messages. Table 4-5 lists the virtual users’ user IDs. (The did prefix
of the names is the domain ID described in Section 3, “Configuring NonStop
NET/MASTER MS.”)
