NEWGROUP

Operation Notes

Usage

You can enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in break mode. Pressing 4Break5 does not a￿ect this command.

You must have account manager (AM) or system manager (SM) capability in order to use this command.

Creating the group structure

The system administrator creates accoun ts and designates someone, called the account manager, to manage the accoun ts. As an account manager, you can use the NEWGROUP command to create groups within eac h account and to assign attributes.

The attributes assigned to the group ma y not exceed those permitted for the accounts themselves (de￿ned when the system administrator created the accounts); however, within account limits, you can rede￿ne the group and user attributes and capabilities, as w ell as those of the PUB group.

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 (ANY) who successfully log on to the accoun t, and append (A), write (W), loc k (L), and sa ve (S) access to the accoun t librarian (AL) and group users (GU) only .

These access pro visions are as follo ws:

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 ).
