user remains unchanged. When a keyword is included, but the corresponding parameter is
omitted (as in PASS=
Return), a default value is assigned as shown in Table 3-3. on page 72.
When a parameter is modified with the ALTUSER command, it is immediately registered in
the directory. However, it does not affect users who are currently logged on to the system.
They are affected the next time they log on to the same user name and account. For this
reason, warn users in advance of any intended changes.
Avoid changing the
capabilitylist
or
homegroupname
of the user MANAGER.SYS. SM
capability cannot be taken away from MANAGER.SYS.
ALTUSER will not allow a user with AM capability to remove AM from their own
capability list. However, a user with AM can remove AM from the capability list of another
AM user inside the same account.
