7.8 Restricting the Use of Accounts
7.8.1 Setting Day Types
You can restrict the use of certain accounts by defining the days of the week
as either PRIMARY or SECONDARY, and then assigning login restrictions to
these day types. For example, if you define the days Saturday and Sunday as
SECONDARY days, then any restrictions you assign to the SECONDARY day
type apply to both.
You can assign two types of login restrictions to either day type:
Restriction Description
Time restrictions Limits logins to specific hours of the day
Function restrictions Limit types of login
The default user record defines the five weekdays (Monday through Friday)
as PRIMARY days, and the two weekend days (Saturday and Sunday) as
SECONDARY days.
The way you define days and assign restrictions depends on your site. For
example, suppose that on weekdays your system supports a large number of
interactive users, but on weekends it is used for certain operations that require
dedicated system resources. By assigning restrictions to the SECONDARY day
type, you can restrict users from accessing the system during the days defined as
SECONDARY. You can change these day type definitions for any account using
the following AUTHORIZE qualifier:
/PRIMEDAYS=([NO]day[,...])
The /PRIMEDAYS qualifier uses a list of day names to define the PRIMARY and
SECONDARY days of the week. To define a day as a SECONDARY day, use
the prefix NO before the day name. Any days you omit from the list take their
default value.
7.8.2 Restricting Logins to Specific Times
By default, there are no restrictions on login hours. You can specify login time
restrictions using the following AUTHORIZE qualifiers:
Qualifier Meaning
/[NO]ACCESS Specifies access hours for all modes of logins
/[NO]DIALUP Specifies access hours for interactive logins from dialup
terminals
/[NO]INTERACTIVE Specifies access hours for interactive logins from any terminal
/[NO]LOCAL Specifies access hours for interactive logins from local
terminals
/[NO]REMOTE Specifies access hours for interactive logins from network
remote terminals (SET HOST)
Interactive users still logged in when the access time has expired receive the
following warning message and have 2 minutes to log out before their processes
are terminated by the job controller:
JBC-W-RESTRICT, UAF restricts access at this time, please log out immediately
