Assigning Unix groups to PRM groups
Unix groups are collections of users given Unix permissions as a whole.
PRM allows you to map Unix groups to PRM groups without having to
specify each user in the Unix group. With a Unix group record, any
process running as a specific Unix group can be assigned to a PRM
group.
You can add, modify, and remove assignments of Unix group to PRM
groups as discussed in the following sections:
• “Adding/modifying a Unix group’s PRM group assignment” on
page 151
• “Removing a Unix group’s PRM group assignment” on page 152
Unix group record syntax
This section explains the syntax of Unix group records.
Unix group records assign Unix group to PRM groups.
Use the following syntax when specifying a Unix group record:
#!UXGRP:UNIX_GROUP_NAME:{GROUP | (NONE)}
where
#!UXGRP
Indicates the start of a Unix group record. (The #
character does not denote the start of a comment in
this case.)
UNIX_GROUP_NAME
Is the alphanumeric name (of no more than 255
characters) of an existing Unix group.
A Unix group can have no more than one record.
This record type yields precedence to application
records, compartment records, and user records.
