User Security Commands
Safeguard Reference Manual — 520618-030
5 - 10
ALTER USER Command
ALTER USER Command
ALTER USER changes one or more user attributes in a user’s authentication record.
Only the primary owner and secondary owners of a user’s authentication record, the
primary owner’s group manager, or the local super ID can use ALTER USER to change
the user-attribute values in a user’s authentication record.
For all attributes other than REMOTEPASSWORD, the ALTER USER command
replaces the current attribute value with the newly specified value. For the
REMOTEPASSWORD attribute, ALTER USER updates the remote password list by
adding, deleting, or changing the corresponding remote password, as indicated.
USER
specifies USER as the object type of the ALTER command. Omit it if USER is the
assumed type. (For more information about assumed types, see ASSUME
Command on page 4-3.)
user-spec
specifies the user or users whose authentication records are to be changed. The
user-spec variable can be any of:
group-num , member-num
group-name.member-name
group-num , *
*,*
The group-name and member-name variables can contain wild-card characters.
LIKE user
changes the user attributes of the user authentication record being altered to the
same as some of the attribute values currently defined for the user identified by
user. For user, specify one of:
alias
group-num,member-num
group-name.member-name
The alias variable is an existing user alias. For det
ails, see Section 6, User Alias
Security Commands.
