NEWUSER
NEWUSER
Creates a new user.
Syntax
NEWUSER
username[.acctname] [ ;PASS=[ password] ] [ ;CAP=[ capabilitylist] ] [ ;MAXPRI=[ subque
uename] ] [ ;LOCATTR=[ localattribute] ] [ ;HOME=[ homegroupname] ] [ ;UID=[ uid]][
;USERPASS=[ { REQ OPT } ] [ Expired]]
The USERPASS parameter is only available if the HP Security Monitor has been installed.
Parameters
username The name of the user. The name must consist of one to eight alphanumeric
characters, beginning with an alphabetic character.
acctname The account in which the user is to reside. System manager (SM)
capability is required to use this parameter.
password User password, used for verifying logon access only. The password must
consist of one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning with an
alphabetic character. Default is that no password is assigned.
capabilitylist The list of capabilities, separated by commas, permitted to this user. Each
capability is denoted by a two letter mnemonic, as shown in Table 5-8.
Capabilities assigned to the user with the CAP= parameter cannot exceed
those assigned the account. If the account's capabilities are altered, any
capabilities removed from the account are denied to the user. The user's
capabilities are always verified to be a subset of the account's capabilities
at logon. This prevents a user from being granted a capability not assigned
the account. Note that CV capability, which allows users to define
mountable non-system volumes, also gives the user UV capability, so that
they may use mountable, non-system volumes. Default is IA, BA, ND, and
SF.
