This chapter is intended for BS2000 system administrators, BS2000 group administrators and POSIX administrators.
Every BS2000 user is also simultaneously a POSIX user. With the exception of a BS2000 user ID with valid individual POSIX user attributes (see "Assigning POSIX user attributes") no further conditions must be fulfilled to obtain user administration access to POSIX and its interfaces.
POSIX user administration is integrated in BS2000 user administration. This chapter describes the interfaces for managing the POSIX user attributes of a BS2000 user ID. These interfaces are part of the component SRPM (System Resources and Privileges Management), which is implemented in the BS2000 basic configuration and in the software product SECOS. Further details on SRPM are available in the manuals
"BS2000 System Adminisration" [16] and "SECOS Security Control System - Access Control" [9]. It is not necessary for the SECOS software product to be installed in order to work with POSIX.
