NEWACCT

Creating the account structure

The system administrator creates accoun ts and designates someone to manage the accoun ts, called the account manager . As an account manager, you can log on and rede￿ne y our own attributes and PUB groups. You can can also de￿ne new users and groups.

The capabilities and attributes that the accoun t manager assigns to groups and users cannot exceed those assigned to the accoun t itself by the system administrator. For example, if the system administrator does not assign the account extra data segmen ts (DS) capabilit y, no users in the accoun t have DS capabilit y, which prohibits them from linking programs that use extra data segments.

PUB group

The PUB group is initially assigned the same capability class attributes, permanent ￿le space limit, CPU limit, and connect-time limit as the accoun t, but without a passw ord. Its initial securit y allows read (R) and execute (X) access to all users who successfully log on to the accoun t, and append (A), write (W), lock (L), and save (S) access to the accoun t librarian (AL) and group users (GU) only . These access pro visions are as follows:

R,X:ANY;A,W,L,S:AL,GU

Parameter omissions

When you specify a parameter but omit its corresponding v alue (as in ACCESS= 4Return5), the default value for the parameter is assigned (in this case, R,L,A,W,X:AC). The default is also assigned when y ou omit an entire parameter group (suc h as ACCESS= ￿leaccess ).

Example

To create an account with the account name ACI, the account manager name MNGR, and read privileges for an y user, enter:

:NEWACCT ACI,MNGR;ACCESS=R:ANY
