Setting Up Accounting Groups   



Users are already organized into UIC security groups. For accounting purposes, security groups are often inappropriate. You can put users into accounting groups with the Authorize utility using the /ACCOUNT qualifier. In this way, each user is in an accounting group and a security group.

Using the Accounting utility, you can:

How to Perform This Task

  1. Plan your accounting groups. Decide which users you want in each accounting group, and choose names for the groups.

    The name of an accounting group can be a maximum of eight characters.
  2. Change the account field values in the UAF. Use the Authorize utility's MODIFY command in the following format to change the value in the account field to the name of the user's accounting group: MODIFY username/ACCOUNT=account-namewhere:

    username
    is the name of the user
    account-name
    is the name of the accounting group that you want that user to be in

The next time your users log in, they will be in their new accounting groups, and their resource use will be tagged with the appropriate accounting group names.

Example

This example modifies the accounting group name to SALES_W8 for the username FORD:

$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:AUTHORIZE
UAF> MODIFY FORD/ACCOUNT=SALES_W8
UAF> EXIT
