User ID Lists

User ID lists let you group user IDs that will have the same command authorizations. LIST records that group user IDs have the following format:

LIST *listname userid userid userid

listname

The name of the list and userid userid userid are user IDs you want on the list.

Example:

To put BUDDY, BETH, BRUCE, and CARLAT, your publications managers, on one list named *PUBS, add this record to your AUTHORIZ CONFIG file:

LIST *PUBS BUDDY BETH BRUCE CARLAT

You can then use this list name, *PUBS, in any GRANT or WITHHOLD record where you grant or withhold these four user IDs the authority to certain commands.

You can include a user ID on more than one user ID list if the responsibilities of that user fall into different functional areas.
