Assigning Multiple User IDs to a Security Group

To assign several user IDs to the same security group at one time, for example group PUBS, write an EXEC to do the following:

1. Create a CMS EXEC file with the QUERY command:

   vmsecure query users * (exec
   

2. Modify the EXEC file created to add the appropriate security group name, PUBS:

   copyfile cms exec a (spec
   

   The system responds with this prompt:

   ENTER SPECIFICATION LIST:
   

   Enter the following:

   1-15 1 /PUBS/ 17
   

   Be sure to enter the security group name PUBS in uppercase.

3. Enter the following command:

   cms vmsecure genaci
   

   The user ID issuing the CMS EXEC must have NOPASS GENACI authorization in the AUTHORIZ CONFIG file.
