Group Commands

7 - 4
ADD GROUP Command
alphabetic or numeric. The group-name must not already exist as an
administrative group name.
NUMBER group-num
specifies the numeric ID of the group to be added to the system. The group-num
is a number from 0 through 65535. It must be unique within the local system.
group-num must not already exist as an administrative group number.
group-attribute
defines a group attribute value for the group being added. (Default values are used
for any attributes not specified in the ADD GROUP command.)
The group attributes are:
OWNER [ owner-id ]
MEMBER member-list
DESCRIPTION [ text ]
OWNER [owner-id]
specifies the owner of a group record. For owner-id, specify either of:
[\*.]group-name.member-name
[\*.]group-num , member-num
Note. If you want to define a group that can be subsequently used as an administrative
group, the group name and group number must meet the syntactical requirements for
administrative groups:
•
The group name must be from one to eight alphabetic or numeric characters, the first
of which must be alphabetic. Because the ADD GROUP command recognizes the
case of alphabetic characters, the alphabetic characters in an administrative group
name must be entered in uppercase.
•
The group number for an administrative group must be from 0 through 255.
Note. Safeguard also supports group numbers 65536 through 65567. However, these
gro
up numbers are reserved for HP internal use only.
Group number 65536 is reserved for a file sharing group called the SECURITY-
ENCR
YPTION-ADMIN group. The SECURITY-ENCRYPTION-ADMIN group members are
authorized to perform volume level data encryption.
The following considerations govern this group:
•
Only super group members can be a part of this group.
•
This group is not supported on Safeguard ACLs.
Note. The group numbers are supported only by systems running J06.08 and later J-
series R
VUs and H06.18 and later H-series RVUs.
