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:
Summarize the resources used by all
the users in a particular accounting or security group. To do this,
use the ACCOUNT or UIC keyword with the /SUMMARY qualifier.
Select records for all the users in a particular
accounting or security group. To do this, use the /ACCOUNT or /UIC
qualifier.
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.
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.
