Global privileges are assigned to user IDs with commands. One user ID may possess more than one individual privilege (and/or privilege sets) and one privilege (and/or privilege set) may be assigned to more than one user ID. The privileges of a user ID are stored in the user catalog (SYSSRPM file; see the “Introduction to System Administration” [2]). The assignment of privileges recorded in the user catalog of the home pubset is valid for the entire system.
When a first startup is executed for BS2000 using SECOS, the SYSSRPM file is regenerated; the default setting is that predefined system IDs then have the privileges shown in section "Distribution of privileges after first startup".
If a BS2000 system using SECOS is not started with a first startup but with a cold start, warm start, etc. (see the “Introduction to System Administration” [2]), the distribution of privileges is that of the user catalog of the home pubset. A description of the distribution of privileges following a non-first startup may be found in section "Distribution of privileges after non-first startup". Information concerning the change to other operating system versions is given in the “Migration Guide” [30].
