Granting Authorization to Create User IDs

Use the *NEWUSRS predefined list on a GRANT record to allow the issuing user to create new user IDs. We recommend that you give this authorization only to your site’s directory managers.

Examples:

To allow CARLAT to use the MANAGE command to create user IDs, add the following GRANT record to the AUTHORIZ CONFIG file:

GRANT MANAGE *NEWUSRS TO CARLAT

The GRANT record above only lets CARLAT create users. For CARLAT to manage all users on the system, add the following GRANT record:

GRANT MANAGE TO CARLAT
