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.
