Granting Authorizations to Use the MAINT MANAGE Command

When you authorize user IDs to use MANAGE subfunctions of the MAINT command, you treat the MAINT MANAGE command as a one–word command (MAINTMAN) and the subfunction as the parameter, using this general format:

GRANT MAINTMAN userid TO userids
userid

Authority (what).

Userids

User IDs (whom).

Examples:

To give directory manager CARLAT authority to use the ACTIVATE subfunction on user ID FRASIERC, add this GRANT record to the AUTHORIZ CONFIG file:

GRANT MAINTMAN FRASIERC ACTIVATE TO CARLAT

As with other authorizations, you can use the predefined variable lists (shown in the Predefined Variable Lists table) in both the authority and the user ID parts of an authorization.

To authorize directory manager CARLAT to use the ACTIVATE subfunction of the MAINT MANAGE command on only the user IDs she manages, add this GRANT record to the AUTHORIZ CONFIG file:

GRANT MAINTMAN *DIRUSRS ACTIVATE TO userids
*DIRUSRS

A predefined variable list.

Userids

User IDs (whom).

To authorize all directory managers in the Sales group (in the *SALEMGR list) to use the ACTIVATE subfunction of the MAINT MANAGE command on all the user IDs they manage, add this GRANT record to the AUTHORIZ CONFIG file:

GRANT MAINTMAN *DIRUSRS ACTIVATE TO *SALEMGR

The table in this chapter lists the authorities required to authorize user IDs to use MAINT MANAGE subfunctions.
