2 Controlling User Access
This section describes how to use the SAFECOM user security commands to establish
a local user community and to manage user access to a system protected by the
Safeguard software. It also describes how to identify network users, how to set up
network access for users, and how to establish default protection for users’ disk files.
Introduction
User security controls are established with USER security commands when you add or
alter a user authentication record. They are supplemented by other user access
controls offered by the TERMINAL security commands and by the ALTER
SAFEGUARD command.
