GROUP Keyword—Define Groups to an ACID

Valid on z/OS, z/VM, and z/VSE.

Use the GROUP keyword to add or remove groups from a specified ACID. Up to five GROUP ACIDs can be added per TSS command.

Note: The GROUP and PROFILE keywords:

• Cannot be used in the same TSS commands
• Are interchangeable and coding GROUP() removes both GROUPS and PROFILE

This keyword has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(acid) GROUP(group acid,...)

This keyword is used with:

• The commands CREATE, ADDTO, and REMOVE
• The ACID types User, DCA, VCA, ZCA, LSCA, and SCA
• ACID(MAINTAIN) authority

Examples: GROUP keyword

This example indicates that group WRIT01 is now connected to USER02:

TSS ADDTO(USER02) GROUP(WRIT01)

This example removes the connection between a group and an ACID:

TSS REMOVE(USER02) GROUP(WRIT01)

This example uses the FOR keyword to connect GROUP ACIDs to a user.

TSS ADDTO(USER02) GROUP(WRIT01)
                  FOR(5)

When used with a GROUP, the use of that group expires, not the ACID itself.

This example removes the GROUP from the ACID (You cannot remove the FOR attribute from a GROUP):

TSS REMOVE(USER02) GROUP(WRIT01)
