7.7 Maintaining User Accounts
7.7.3 Listing User Accounts
Use the AUTHORIZE command LIST to create the file SYSUAF.LIS, containing a
summary of all user records in the UAF. By default, the LIST command produces
a brief report containing the following information from the UAF:
• Account owner
• User name
• UIC
• Account names
• Privileges
• Process priority
• Default disk and directory
Use the /FULL qualifier to create a full report of all the information (except user
passwords) contained within the UAF.
Example
The following example writes a brief report of the UAF to the output file
SYSUAF.LIS:
UAF> LIST
%UAF-I-LSTMSG1, writing listing file
%UAF-I-LSTMSG2, listing file SYSUAF.LIS complete
The system displays the same messages when you use the /FULL qualifier.
However, a full report is written to the output file.
7.7.4 Maintaining the User Environment
As the work requirements of your system change, you might have to perform the
following tasks:
• Create additional default records to serve as templates for new categories of
users
• Delete or disable the accounts of users who leave your site
• Impose login restrictions to limit system use by certain accounts
With the Authorize utility, you can perform these maintenance operations by
modifying or deleting records in the UAF.
Creating Additional Default Record Templates
On systems where all users perform the same type of work, you typically use the
system-supplied default record, DEFAULT, as the template for adding new user
records. You might find, however, that your system supports several different
user categories, each category performing a specific type of work and requiring
unique record attributes. Instead of always using the system-supplied default
record as a template and making numerous changes each time you add a user
record, you can create additional default UAF records to serve as templates for
each user category.
Before you create additional default records, you must make the following
decisions:
• What the individual user categories are
• What attributes are common to each category
