Command Definitions A-B
ALTGROUP
ALTGROUP
Changes one or more attributes of a group.
Syntax
ALTGROUP groupname [ .acctname]
[ ;PASS=[ password]] [ ;CAP=[ capabilitylist] ]
[ ;FILES=[ filespace] ] [ ;CPU=[ cpu] ]
[ ;CONNECT=[ connect] ] [ ;ACCESS=[ (fileaccess)] ]
[ ;ONVS=volumesetname] [ ;HOMEVS=volumesetname]
Parameters
groupname The name of the group whose attributes are to be changed.
acctname The name of the account in which the group is to reside. System manager
(SM) capability is required to use this parameter.
password The password to be assigned to the group, which is used to verify logon and
access only. If the PASS parameter is omitted, no change is made. If PASS
is used and password is omitted, the existing password is removed. If PASS
is used and password is specified the existing password is changed; if there
is no existing password for the group a password is created.
capabilitylist Either 1) a list of capabilities, separated by commas, permitted this group,
or 2) a list of additions and/or deletions to be applied to the group's
existing set of capabilities. Additions and deletions are specified by a "+" or
"-" immediately followed by the capability to add or delete, separated by
commas.
If "+"/"-" is to be specified in the list, then the list must begin with "+" or
"-". For example, CAP=+MR,-PH is legal, but CAP=MR,-PH is not.
It is not necessary to prefix each capability to be added / deleted with "+" /
"-", as the occurrence of "+" / "-" indicates an action that remains in effect
until the indicator changes. For example, CAP=+MR,PH,-PM,DS is
equivalent to CAP=+MR,+PH,-PM,-DS.
