Controlling User Access
Safeguard Administrator’s Manual—523317-013

Assigning an Alias to a User
The display shows:
When the user is logged on as RalphW, any attempt to access a protected object
causes the Safeguard software to check the object’s access control list to ensure that
user ID 4,32 (the underlying user ID) has the proper access authority.
The attributes in an alias authentication record are unique and unrelated to those in the
underlying user authentication record. In particular, an alias can have a unique
password, and an alias must have its own remote passwords established for remote
access.
An alias, like a user ID, can be deleted, frozen, and thawed. For more information
regarding aliases, see the Safeguard Reference Manual.
