Defining Administrators › Authorize a User to Administrate a Group › Add a Group

Add a Group

When you define a master or user administrator, you must specify at least one group in the list of groups that the user can administer.

To add a group to the list of the groups

1. Access the TPX User Maintenance panel as described in How to Define and Add User ID for Administrator. You can add groups to a new user ID or existing user ID.
2. Select Sessid of TPXADMIN.
3. If there are no groups listed for the administrator, use the Tab key (→) to move the cursor next to the heading "Groups this User Administrator can modify," type I, and press Enter, as shown in the following.

   A blank line will be inserted in the list of the user's groups, and the cursor will be moved to the blank line.

   If there is already at least one group in the user's list of groups, you can type the I to the left of the existing group name.

4. Type the name of group you want the user to administer on the blank line. In the following panel, the administrator is adding TPXGROUP to the list of groups.

   Group Name Requirements—The group that you specify must be a group that you already have the authority to administer. If you are using the TPXADMIN user ID to set up a master administrator ID for yourself, type TPXGROUP on the blank line.

   When specifying a new group, do not use the hyphen character (-) within the group name. It is not a valid character.
