Define a User Group

You can receive requests to add new user groups. Use the following steps to define security for the new user groups. Repeat these steps for each user group you want to create.

Follow these steps:

  1. Enter SECURITY after any CA SYSVIEW prompt and select the User Groups.

    The User Groups display is shown.

  2. Enter S to the left of the AddGroup field, enter the new group name in the group field, and press Enter.

    The User Group Detail display is shown.

  3. Enter S to the left of the Miscellaneous section field, press enter and review the miscellaneous values.
  4. Enter S to the left of the User IDs Section field and press Enter.

    The User IDs Section display is shown.

  5. Enter the user IDs of the users you want to specify as members of this group and issue the RETURN command.

    The User Group Detail display is shown.

  6. Enter S to the left of another section and press Enter.

    The display for this section is shown.

  7. Specify the definitions you want and issue the RETURN command.

    The User Group Detail display is shown.

  8. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 until you specify all the definitions you want and then completely exit the SECURITY command.

    The changes are made permanent. If a user is logged on, the new definitions do not take effect immediately; the changes take effect the next time the user logs on.
