Command Definitions L-O
NEWUSER
subqueuename The name of the highest-priority subqueue that any job or session in the
account can request for executing processes. The subqueuename may be
either AS, BS, CS, DS, or ES. The priority specified for the user in
NEWUSER cannot be greater than that specified for the account.
The subqueuename defined for the user is checked against the subqueuename
defined for the user's account at logon. The lower priority of the two is used
as the maximum priority and restricts all processes of the job/session.
Also, the priority requested by the user at logon is checked against the
subqueuename defined for that user, and the lower of these two values is
granted. Default is CS.
CAUTION Processes capable of executing in the AS or BS subqueues can deadlock the
system. Assigning nonpriority system and user processes to these subqueues
can prevent the execution of critical system processes. Exercise extreme
caution in assigning processes to these subqueues.
localattribute The local attribute of the user, as defined at the installation site. This is a
double-word bit map of arbitrary meaning that can be used to further
classify users. While it is not involved in standard MPE/iX security
provisions, it is available to processes through the WHO intrinsic for use in
the programmer's own security provisions. The NEWUSER command checks
the local attributes of the user with those of the account. Default is double
word 0 (null).
homegroupname The name of an existing group to be assigned as the user's home group. If
none is assigned, the user must always specify a group when logging on.
Default is that no home group is assigned.
uid User ID to be created for the account manager in the user database. The
uid parameter must be an unique positive (non zero) 32-bit integer. Default
is for MPE to create a value. Duplicate id numbers are not be allowed. The
uid parameter provides file owner class security for MPE/iX.
REQ Specifies that the user must have a non-blank password. It is available
only if the HP Security Monitor has been installed.
OPT Specifies that a user password is optional. This is the default. It is
available only if the HP Security Monitor has been installed.
Expired The password expires immediately. The user cannot logon without
selecting a new password. It is available only if the HP Security Monitor
has been installed.
Operation Notes
The account manager uses the NEWUSER command to define an account member. When the
user is defined, the account manager may also assign the user a password, a user ID,
capabilities, and may limit the user's use of system resources. Parameters defining these
values may also be omitted from the command line; in this case, the defaults are assigned
the user.
