Command Definitions L-O
NEWACCT
OPT Specifies that users of the account may or may not have passwords. This is
the default. It is available only if the HP Security Monitor has been
installed.
Operation Notes
The NEWACCT command may be executed only by the System Manager. The System
Manager is responsible for establishing the accounting structure best suited to the
computer installation.
When a keyword is specified, but its corresponding parameter is omitted (as in ACCESS=
Return), the default value for that keyword is assigned (in this case, R,L,A,W,X:AC). The
default is also assigned when an entire keyword parameter group (such as
ACCESS=fileaccess) is omitted.
After the System Manager creates accounts and designates account managers for those
accounts, the new account managers may log on and redefine their own attributes and
those of their PUB groups. Account managers can also define new users and groups. The
capabilities and attributes that the account manager assigns to groups and users cannot
exceed those assigned to the account itself by the system manager. For example, if the
system manager does not assign the account DS capability, no users in the account are
permitted DS capability (which prohibits them from linking programs that use extra data
segments).
The PUB group is initially assigned the same capability class attributes, permanent file
space limit, CPU limit, and connect-time limit as the account, but no password. Its initial
security allows READ and EXECUTE access to all users who successfully log on to the
account, and APPEND, WRITE, LOCK, and SAVE access to account librarian (AL) and
group users (GU) only. These access provisions are (R,X:ANY;A,W,L,S:AL,GU).
NOTE If you specify volume-related commands or parameters for a volume set that
is not currently mounted, or for an account that does not exist, MPE/iX
returns an error message.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, a job, a program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break
has no effect on this command. System manager (SM) capability is required to use this
command.
Examples
To create an account with the account name ACI, and the account manager name MNGR,
with all other parameters assigned by default, enter:
NEWACCT ACI,MNGR
To create the account DOCTOR on the system volume set, with the manager named WHO,
and on the volume set called MY_VOL, you must create it with two parallel commands:
NEWACCT DOCTOR,WHO;CAP=IA,BA,GL,AM,AL
NEWACCT DOCTOR,WHO;ONVS=MY_VOL
