MPE/iX System Utilities Reference Manual

Chapter 3  ASOCTBL 

The ASOCTBL utility lets users with SM or OP capability distribute
operator commands for specific devices to other system users.  It creates
an association table in ASOCIATE.PUB.SYS, where the users are identified
with the device classes that they may associate.

Once a user is included in the association table, he or she can use the
ASSOCIATE command to gain access to the corresponding device class.
While a device class is under a user's control, status messages for the
devices in that class appear on the user's $STDLIST device, and not on
the system console.  That user continues to have exclusive access to the
operator commands that control that device until the user terminates the
association by logging off or by issuing the DISASSOCIATE command.
