SET USER Command
•
GUARDIAN DEFAULT attributes are equivalent to using the Guardian DEFAULT 
command.
Setting the user’s Guardian default file security or default subvolume with the 
GUARDIAN SECURITY or GUARDIAN VOLUME attributes is equivalent to using 
the Guardian DEFAULT command. Similarly, you can use the DEFAULT command 
to change these attributes. 
•
PASSWORD-EXPIRES takes precedence over PASSWORD-MUST-CHANGE.
If the PASSWORD-EXPIRES and PASSWORD-MUST-CHANGE attributes are set 
in the same command, the setting of the PASSWORD-EXPIRES attribute takes 
precedence over the PASSWORD-EXPIRES date calculated as a result of setting 
the PASSWORD-MUST-CHANGE attribute.
Examples
The group manager for group 18 enters the following SET and ADD commands to add 
a temporary user to the system. The user has user name TEMP.KEVIN and user ID 
18,38. The user cannot log on after noon on September 30, 2005.
First the group manager issues the SET USER commands:
=ASSUME USER
=SET PASSWORD lintel
=SET USER-EXPIRES 30 SEP 2005, 12:00
=SET AUDIT-AUTHENTICATE-FAIL all
=SET GUARDIAN VOLUME $data2.kevin
=SET TEXT-DESCRIPTION "Group 18"
Then the group manager issues the SHOW USER command to display the changes 
that have taken place:
