Specifying the OPTION Statement

To assign a privilege class when a user ID is not defined in the file, specify the Option statement at the beginning of the AUTHUSER MIM file. Place this statement as the first uncommented line in the file. Also the Option statement is listed before any user IDs that appear in the file. The option takes effect only for user IDs that have not been assigned a privilege class in the file.

The OPTION statement has the following format:

OPTION option_value

The valid option_values are:

EXCL

Specifies that a user whose user ID does not appear in the file is unauthorized to issue any CA MIM commands.

INCL

Specifies that a user whose user ID does not appear in the file be assigned the general USER class.

INCL(class)

Specifies that a user whose user ID does not appear in the file is assigned the privilege class that is indicated in parentheses after the INCL keyword. The class value can be either OPERATOR or USER.
