Setting Limited-Duration Suspensions for ACIDs

With the SUSPEND keyword, Security Administrators can instruct CA Top Secret to suspend an ACID until a specified date--at which time the ACID will automatically be reactivated. For example, the following suspends USER01 until July 5, 2002, when it will automatically be reinstated:

TSS ADD(USER01) SUSPEND UNTIL(07/05/02)

If USER01 happens to be logged on at the time, then the suspension begins when they log off. (To suspend a user immediately--even if logged on--use TSS MODIFY SUSPEND(acid)). This feature simplifies the process of temporarily deactivating ACIDs during vacations, extended trips, and leaves of absence, etc.
