NEWGROUP
The NEWGROUP command creates a new group within an existing account.
Syntax
NEWGROUP groupname[.acctname] [;PASS=[password]]
[;CAP=[capabilitylist]][;ACCESS=[(fileaccess)]]
Parameters
groupname Specifies the name of the new group, which must
consist of from one to eight alphanumeric
characters, beginning with an alphabetic character.
acctname Specifies the account in which the group is to
reside. You must have system manager (SM)
capability to use this parameter.
PASS Specifies the group password, used for verifying
logon access only. The default is that no password
is assigned.
CAP Lists capability class attributes consisting of any
or all of the following:
BA = Local batch access (default)
DS = Extra data segments
IA = Interactive access (default)
MR = Multiple RINS
PH = Process handling
PM = Privileged mode
This list imposes a limit on program files
belonging to the group. You cannot assign a
capability to the group if it has not been defined
for the account in which the group resides.
ACCESS Specifies the restriction on file access pertinent
to this group. Valid syntax options are as
follows:
{R} {ANY}
{L} {AC }
{A} [,...]: {GU } [,...]
{W} {AL }
{X} {GL }
where R, L, A, W, and X specify modes of access by
types of users (ANY, AC, GU, AL, and GL) and are
defined as follows:
R = Read
L = Lock (exclusive file access)
A = Append (implies L)
W = Write (implies A and L)
X = Execute
S = Save
The user types are defined as follows:
ANY = Any user
AC = Member of this account only
GU = Member of this group only
AL = Account librarian user only
GL = Group librarian user only
You can specify two or more user or access types if
you separate them with commas.
The defaults for the public group (PUB) are:
R,X:ANY; A,W,L,S:AL,GU
The default for all other groups is:
R,A,W,L,X,S:GU
Operation Notes
* Usage
You can enter this command from a session, a job, a program, or in
break mode. Pressing Break does not affect 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 accounts and designates someone,
called the account manager, to manage the accounts. As an account
manager, you can use the NEWGROUP command to create groups within
each account and to assign attributes.
The attributes assigned to the group may not exceed those
permitted for the accounts themselves (defined when the system
administrator created the accounts); however, within account
limits, you can redefine the group and user attributes and
capabilities, as well as those of the PUB group.
* PUB group
The PUB group is initially assigned the same capability class
attributes, permanent file space limit, CPU limit, and
connect-time limit as the account, but without a password. Its
initial security allows read (R) and execute (X) access to all
users (ANY) who successfully log on to the account, and append
(A), write (W), lock (L), and save (S) access to the account
librarian (AL) and group users (GU) only.
These access provisions are as follows:
R,X:ANY;A,W,L,S:AL,GU
* Parameter omissions
When you specify a parameter but omit its corresponding value (as
in ACCESS= Return), the default value for the parameter is
assigned (in this case, R,L,A,W,X:AC). The default is also
assigned when you omit an entire parameter group (such as
ACCESS=fileaccess).
Examples
* To create a new group named GROUP1 with all default capabilities,
enter:
:NEWGROUP GROUP1
* To create a new group named G2 in the account WISDOM and assign it
process handling (PH) and multiple RINs (MR) capabilities while
retaining the default capabilities, enter:
:NEWGROUP G2.WISDOM;CAP=PH,MR,IA,BA
