Managing User Accounts
7.6 Adding User Accounts
The UIC must be unique for the system. For example, each account in the UIC
group 200 must have a unique member number. You can list the UICs currently
assigned to users by entering a question mark ( ? ) after the UIC member
number prompt. The account is not created until you have answered all of the
questions in the procedure. The procedure has the following final prompt:
Is everything satisfactory with the account [YES]?
If you press Return, the account is created and remains in SYSUAF.DAT as
specified. If you enter NO, the account is removed.
Note
If you press Ctrl/Y before, during, or directly after the system displays
the characteristics of the account (that is, before you respond to the
‘‘satisfactory?’’ prompt), the account, or portions of it, will still be added.
Make sure users log in to their accounts promptly to change the password.
7.7 Maintaining User Accounts
As system manager, you perform a certain number of user account maintenance
tasks, such as modifying and deleting accounts. The following sections explain
how to perform these tasks:
Task Section
Using command procedures for interactive accounts Section 7.7.1
Modifying a user account Section 7.7.2
Listing user accounts Section 7.7.3
Maintaining the user environment Section 7.7.4
Deleting a user account Section 7.7.5

7.7.1 Using Command Procedures for Interactive Accounts
For all accounts, login command procedures contain commands commonly
executed at the beginning of every user session. These commands do such tasks
as the following ones:
• Define symbols
• Assign logical names
• Display messages and the time of day
• Set terminal characteristics
• Define keys to perform certain functions
• Set process default file protection (SET PROTECTION/DEFAULT)
Login command procedures are useful for saving keystrokes and standardizing
operations.
