Creating a New Group With Group Password 

An Account Manager must be logged on to his or her account to execute the
following commands.  System Managers need not be logged on to the account
to execute these commands, but must enter the account name when doing so.

To create a new group and group password, log on to the account and enter
:NEWGROUP followed by the required parameter groupname and PASS=password. 

For example, enter:

     :NEWGROUP RCVBLS;PASS=BOOKS

As a System Manager creating the same group while not logged on to the
account, enter the account name as well as the group name:

     :NEWGROUP RCVBLS.ACCOUNTS;PASS=BOOKS

Modifying a Group Password 

To modify a group password, log on to the account and enter :ALTGROUP,
followed by the required parameter groupname and PASS=password. 

For example, enter:

     :ALTGROUP RCVBLS;PASS=LEDGERS

As a System Manager modifying the same group password while not logged on
to the account, enter the account name as well as the group name:

     :ALTGROUP RCVBLS.ACCOUNTS;PASS=LEDGERS

Removing Group Level Passwords 

To remove a group password, log on to the account and enter :ALTGROUP,
followed by the required parameter groupname and PASS=.

For example, enter:

     :ALTGROUP RCVBLES;PASS=

As a System Manager removing the group password while not logged on to
the account, enter the account name as well as the group name:

     :ALTGROUP RCVBLS.ACCOUNTS;PASS=
