Transferring Security Group Ownership
Transferring Security Group Ownership
You can transfer ownership of a group authorization record to another user. For
example, this command gives ownership of the SECURITY-ADMINISTRATOR
authorization record to ADMIN.BOB (200,8):
=ALTER SECURITY-GROUP SEC-ADM, OWNER admin.bob
You can abbreviate the security group name as SEC-ADM. To verify the results:
=INFO SECURITY-GROUP SEC-ADM
The display shows:
ADMIN.BOB is now responsible for managing membership in the
SECURITY-ADMINISTRATOR security group.
You can transfer ownership of a group authorization record to another user by the
ALTER command. For example, this command gives ownership of the
SECURITY-OSS-ADMINISTRATOR authorization record to another user:
=ALTER SECURITY-GROUP SECURITY-OSS-ADMINISTRATOR, &
ACCESS TEST1.USER1 - (E); TEST1.USER4 (E), &
AUDIT-MANAGE ALL
To verify the results:
=INFO SECURITY-GROUP SECURITY-OSS-ADMINISTRATOR
The display shows:
