join Command—Add Users to Native Groups

Valid in the native environments

The join command adds users to a group. The specified users and group must already be defined to native OS.

Note: This command also exists in the AC environment but operates differently.

To use the join command, at least one of the following must be true:

• You have the ADMIN attribute in your CA ControlMinder user record.
• The group record is within the scope of a group in which you have the GROUP‑ADMIN attribute.
• You are the owner of the group record in the database.
• You have JOIN or MODIFY access authority in the access control list of the GROUP record in the ADMIN class.

Note: Both the MODIFY and JOIN properties are required if an ADMIN is to have the authority to modify CA ControlMinder GROUP records and native groups.

This command has the following format:

{join|j} userName group(groupName)

group(groupName)

Specifies the native group to which the users are being added.

userName

Specifies the user name of the native user who is being connected to the group specified by the group parameter. When specifying more than one user, enclose the user names in parentheses and separate the user names with a space or a comma.

Example

The user Eli wants to join the user Bob to the group “staff.”

• Eli has the ADMIN attribute and the current environment is native.

  join Bob group(staff)
