Granting Authorization to General Users

For general users, authorization is typically granted to those commands available for manipulation of their own user IDs (indicated by a shorthand notation). Rather than using the tokens userid.manager, the tokens SYSTEM.SELF are substituted.

The following table shows rules (or a subset of them determined by installation policy) that are granted to general users for self-administration of user IDs:
