ADDUSER Program (Group Managers Only)
ADDUSER Program (Group Managers Only)
Run the ADDUSER program to add new group IDs and user IDs to the system. To use
the ADDUSER program, you must have a group-manager ID (group,255)or the
super ID (255,255).
run-option
is any of the options described in the RUN[D|V] Command on page 8-156.
group-name.user-name
are the group and individual names, respectively, of the new user. Each name can
contain from one to eight letters or digits, and the first character must be a letter.
group-id
is an integer in the range from 0 through 255 that uniquely identifies a group. 255
is reserved as the super-group ID.
user-id
is an integer in the range from 0 through 255 that uniquely identifies a user within a
group. 255 is reserved for group managers (group,255) and the super ID
(255,255).
Considerations
•
Only a group manager or the super ID can add new users to a system. Group
managers can add new users to their respective groups; the super ID can add new
users to any group.
•
The super ID can create a new group by adding a new user with a previously
unused group-id and user-id.
•
A group does not need to have a group manager.
•
The logon defaults for a new user who was just added to the system are volume
$SYSTEM, subvolume NOSUBVOL, and disk file security “AAAA”.
Examples
1. Assume that there is no group name MANUF and no group ID 8 in the system. In
one ADDUSER command, the super ID can create a new group (MANUF) and add
a new user (STELLA) with group ID 8 and user ID 1:
12> ADDUSER MANUF.STELLA, 8,1
MANUF.STELLA (8,1) HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE USERID FILE.
ADDUSER [ / run-option [ , run-option ] ... / ]
