Adding Users to the System
If you are authorized as the super ID (255,255), you can add a new user to any
group on your local system. You can also add a new group name at the same time
you add a new user. If you are a group manager (n,255), you can add a new user to
your own group.
2. Enter the ADDUSER command at your TACL prompt:
> ADDUSER group-name.user-name, group-id, user-id
where group-name and user-name are the group and individual names,
respectively, of the new user. Each name can contain from one through eight letters
or digits, and the first character must be a letter.
group-id is an integer in the range 0–255 that uniquely identifies a group. Note
that 255 is reserved as the group-id for system operators and for the super ID.
user-id is an integer in the range 0–255 that uniquely identifies a user within a
group. 255 is reserved as the user-id for group managers and the super ID.
3. Assign a password and default volume and subvolume for the new user:
> LOGON group-name.user-name
Password: (RETURN)
> PASSWORD password
> DEFAULT $volume.subvolume, "security-code"
If you do not specify any in this step, the logon defaults for users when they are first
added to the system are:
•
Default volume: $SYSTEM
•
Default subvolume: NOSUBVOL
•
Default disk file security: AAAA
•
No password is assigned.
You can include options of the TACL RUN command in the ADDUSER program
syntax. See the RUN[D] command description in the TACL Reference Manual for
details about RUN options.
Examples
•
To create a new group at the same time you add a new user, enter:
> ADDUSER SALES.BONNIE, 8,1
This command creates a new group named SALES, with the group ID 8, and also
adds a new user named BONNIE, with user ID 1.
SALES.BONNIE (8,1) HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE USERID FILE.
