CLASS Command

Use the CLASS command to change CP privilege classes in a USER or IDENTITY directory entry.

CLASS entry classes

Authorizations

You must have CLASS authorization through a separate GRANT CLASS record in the AUTHORIZ CONFIG file for each class you grant to a user ID.

Definitions

entry classes

Specifies the directory entry and the classes to assign. Each class is represented by a single character; multiple classes cannot be separated by blanks.

Description

IBM or your system programming staff defines valid privilege classes. You can assign these privilege classes to user IDs you manage.

The classes you assign to a user ID through this command replace all classes currently assigned to this user ID; class assignments in sequential CLASS commands or in a CLASS command after the initial class assignments are not cumulative.

This command does not change the current login session. New class privileges assigned through the CLASS command take effect at the next logon.

Examples

Directory manager WOODYB is authorized to assign CP privilege classes B, C, and G to the user IDs he manages.

• WOODYB wants to change user ID NORMP privilege classes from F to B, C, and G:

  vmdirect class normp bcg
  

• WOODYB wants to add privilege classes B and C to user ID CLIFFC, who already has privilege class G:

  vmdirect class cliffc bcg
