Primary Logon Groups

A user can belong to more than one group. The user's primary group is set in their LIDREC in the GROUP field. You can identify all other groups that a user can access (setgid()|setegid()) through resource rules. Each user must be permitted to their primary group through resource rules. See the “About Resource Rules” chapter for more information about resource rules.

The following example sets user MAINT's primary group to SYSTEM and inserts other required POSIX logonids:

SET LID
 
 CHANGE MAINT GROUP(SYSTEM)
 INSERT ROOT GROUP(SYSTEM) PASSWORD(password)
 INSERT DAEMON GROUP(STAFF) PASSWORD(password)
 INSERT BIN GROUP(BIN) PASSWORD(password)
 INSERT SYS GROUP(SYS) PASSWORD(password)
 INSERT ADM GROUP(ADM) PASSWORD(password)
