ALTACCT

Activating the changes

If you alter one or more parameters while users are logged on, the c hanges do not become e￿ectiv e until the users log o￿ their curren t jobs or sessions and log back on. Since the system does not automatically generate a message informing users of c hanges, you should notify users before y ou make any account changes. This is particularly advisable when y ou remove a capability from an account. In this case, all accoun t members and groups within the account are denied the capabilit y.

Restrictions

You cannot remove system manager (SM) capability from the SYS account or account manager (AM) capabilit y from any account. From within any account, you can remove AM capabilit y from all but one (the last) of the users assigned the capabilit y; however, you can remove AM capability from all users in an accoun t if you do this from another user and accoun t with SM capability.

Examples

To change the password of an account named AC2 to GLOBALX , enter:

:ALTACCT AC2;PASS=GLOBALX

To add SM capability to an account named AC2 and retain the default capabilities, enter:

:ALTACCT AC2;CAP=SM,AM,AL,GL,ND,SF,BA,IA
