AUTHORIZE MODIFY — MicroVMS 4.6
This command allows the user to change any field(s) in any user authorization
record(s). Wildcarding of usernames or UICs is allowed.
Format:
MODIFY user-spec /qualifier [/qualifiers]
Additional information available:
/IDENTIFIER
Modifies an identifier in the rights database.
Format
MODIFY/IDENTIFIER id-name
Additional information available:
Parameter
id-name Specifies the name of an identifier to be modified
Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/ATTRIBUTES
/ATTRIBUTES=(keyword)
Specifies attributes to be associated with the modified
identifier. Valid keywords are:
[NO]DYNAMIC Indicates whether or not unprivileged holders of the
identifier may add or remove the identifier from the
process rights list. The default is NODYNAMIC.
[NO]RESOURCE Indicates whether or not holders of the identifier
may charge resources to it. The default is NORESOURCE.
If you specify RESOURCE, a holder named with the /HOLDER
qualifier gains the right to charge resources to the
identifier. If you specify /NORESOURCE, the holder loses the
right to charge resources. If you specify NORESOURCE and do
not name any holder (if /HOLDER is not specified), all holders
lose the right to charge resources.
/HOLDER
/HOLDER=username Specifies the holder of an identifier whose attributes are to modified. /HOLDER is used only in conjunction with /ATTRIBUTES qualifier. If you specify /HOLDER, the /NAME and /VALUE qualifiers are ignored.
/NAME
/NAME=id-name Specifies a new id-name to be associated with the identifier.
/VALUE
/VALUE=value-specifier
Specifies a new identifier value. Note, however, that an
identifier value cannot be modified from a UIC to a non UIC
format or vice versa. Valid formats for the value-specifier
are:
IDENTIFIER:integer An integer value in the range of
32768 to 268435455, or a
hexadecimal number in the range
%X00008000 to 0FFFFFFF
UIC:uic A uic value in the standard UIC
format
Examples
UAF> MODIFY/IDENTIFIER/VALUE=UIC:[300,21] ACCOUNTING
identifier ACCOUNTING modified
The command in this example changes the old UIC value of the
identifier ACCOUNTING to a new value.
UAF> MODIFY/IDENTIFIER/ATTRIBUTES=NORESOURCE/HOLDER=ALLISON ACCOUNTING
identifier ACCOUNTING modified
The command in this example associates the attribute NORESOURCE
with the identifier ACCOUNTING in ALLISON's holder record.
/SYSTEM_PASSWORD
Sets the system password.
Format
MODIFY/SYSTEM_PASSWORD=system-password
Parameters
user-spec
The record(s) to be modified may be specified in a variety of ways:
1) wildcarded username (standard DCL wildcarding)
2) wildcarded UIC, as
a) [*,*]
b) [*,n]
c) [n,*]
3) specific username
4) specific UIC

/ACCESS
/[NO]ACCESS=([PRIMARY], [n-m], [n] [,...] [SECONDARY], [n-m], [n] [,...])
/[NO]ACCESS="[PRIMARY][:] [n-m][,] [n][,...][;] [SECONDARY][:] [n-m][,...]"
Used to specify hours of access for all modes of logins. Specify hours
as integers from 0 to 23, inclusive. Hours may be specified as single
hours (n), or as ranges of hours (n-m). If the ending hour of a range
is earlier than the starting hour, the range extends from the starting
hour through midnight to the the ending hour. The first set of hours
after the keyword PRIMARY specifies hours on primary days; the second
set of hours after the keyword SECONDARY specifies hours on secondary
days.
All the list elements are optional. If no hours are specified for a
day type, access is permitted the entire day. If only primary hours
or only secondary hours are given, no access is permitted for secondary
or primary days, respectively. If hours are given with no day type, they
apply to both types of days.
Negating the qualifier by specifying /NOACCESS=(...) completely inverts
the sense of the access hours.
Examples:
/ACCESS allows unrestricted access
/NOACCESS=SECONDARY allows access on primary days only
/ACCESS=(9-17) allows access from 9 am through 5 pm on all days
/NOACCESS=(PRIMARY, 9-17, SECONDARY, 18-8)
allows access from 9 through 5 on secondary days
and all but 9 through 5 on primary days
/ACCESS="Primary: 9-16; Secondary: 18-7, 8; Primary: 17"
allows access from 9 through 5 on primary days
and all but 9 through 5 on secondary days
To specify access hours for specific types of logins, see the
