NEWUSER
The NEWUSER command enables the system administrator to define a new user
within an account. The administrator can also assign the user a password
and capabilities, and can limit the user's use of system resources.
Parameters defining these values may also be omitted from the command
line; in this case, defaults are assigned to the user.
Syntax
NEWUSER username[.acctname] [;PASS=[password]][;CAP=[capabilitylist]]
[;HOME=[homegroupname]] [;UID=[(uid)]]
Parameters
username Specifies the name of the user. The name must
consist of from one to eight alphanumeric
characters, beginning with an alphabetic character.
acctname Specifies the account in which the user is to
reside. You must have account manager (AM)
capability to use this parameter.
PASS Specifies the user password, used for verifying
logon access only. The password must consist of
from one to eight alphanumeric characters,
beginning with an alphabetic character. The
default is that no password is assigned.
CAP Specifies the list of capabilities permitted for
the user. Each capability is indicated by a
two-letter mnemonic, separated by commas, as
follows:
SM = System manager
AM = Account manager
AL = Account librarian
GL = Group librarian
DI = Diagnostician
OP = System supervisor
NA = Network administrator
NM = Node manager
SF = Save files
ND = Access to nonshareable I/O devices
UV = Use volumes
CV = Create volumes
CS = Use communication subsystem
PS = Programmatic sessions
LG = User logging
PH = Process handling
DS = Extra data segments
MR = Multiple RINs
PM = Privileged mode
IA = Interactive access
BA = Batch access
The default is IA, BA, ND, and SF.
Note the following points about this parameter:
* Capabilities assigned to the user cannot
exceed those assigned to the account.
* Any capabilities removed from the account
are denied to the user.
* The user's capabilities are always verified
to be a subset of the account's capabilities
at logon. This prevents a user from having
a capability not assigned to the account.
HOME Specifies the name of an existing group to be
assigned as the user's home group. The first user
established when an account is created, by default,
has PUB assigned as the home group. Subsequent new
users, by default, have no home group assigned. If
no home group is assigned, the user must always
specify a group when logging on.

(SM) capability to specify a user in an account other than your
