ALTACCT
If a capability is removed at the account level, users within the account are
also denied that capability. No explicit change to the user's capabilities is
necessary. Similarly, if a capability is returned to the account, any users
with that capability regain it automatically.
Each capability is denoted by a two letter mnemonic, as follows:
System Manager = SM
Account Manager = AM
Account Librarian = AL
Group Librarian = GL
Diagnostician = DI
System Supervisor = OP
Network Administrator = NA
Node Manager = NM
Save Files = SF
Access to Nonshareable
I/O Devices = ND
Use Volumes = UV
Use Communication
Subsystem = CS
Programmatic Sessions = PS
User Logging = LG
Process Handling = PH
Extra Data Segments = DS
Multiple RINs = MR
Privileged Mode = PM
Interactive Access = IA
Batch Access = BA
Default is AM, AL, GL, SF, ND, IA, BA, except for the SYS account. The
SYS account has no true default. It is assigned the maximum account
capabilities when the system is delivered and, under normal
circumstances, should not be altered.
If a capability is taken away from an account, it is unavailable to users in
that account. However, users are not affected by this change until they log
off and then log back on.
fileaccess The restrictions on file access pertinent to this account. Default is
R,L,A,W,X:AC, entered as follows:
([{ R | L | A | W | X } [ ,...] : { ANY | AC } ] [ ;...] )

and/or AC ) as follows:
R = READ
L = LOCK
A = APPEND
W = WRITE
X = EXECUTE
LOCK allows exclusive access to the file. APPEND implicitly specifies LOCK.
WRITE implicitly specifies APPEND and LOCK.
