Grants a user access to a specific operator command (CM).
ALLOW FILE=formaldesignator[;SHOW] {@.@ } ALLOW {user.@ };COMMANDS=command[,command,...] {@.acct } {user.acct }
formaldesignator A formal ASCII file name, which may consist of one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning with an alphabetic character. SHOW Lists input lines on $STDLIST. @.@ Grants access to all users whether logged on or not. user.@ Grants access to a specific user in all accounts. @.acct Grants access to all users in a specific account. user.acct Grants access to a specific user in a specific account. command Specifies the names of those commands to which the user is granted access.
The operator uses the ALLOW command to distribute specific operator commands to system users. The ALLOW command determines which users may execute operator command(s), then the names of each command they will be allowed to execute. This command may also be executed in indirect and subsystem modes. To do this you must create a file that contains records identifying the user(s) and account(s) to whom you are allowing operator commands, followed by the list of commands allowed, such as EDITOR HP32201A.07.17 EDIT/3000 TUES, MAY 29, 1987, 5:08 PM (C) HEWLETT-PACKARD CO. 1985 /ADD 1 SUSAN.PAYROLL;COMMANDS=ALTJOB,ALTSPOOLFILE 2 JOHN.ACCTNG;COMMANDS=ALTSPOOLFILE,DELETESPOOLFILE 3 // ... /KEEP ALLOWTMP /E Then issue the ALLOW command, using the ;SHOW parameter to display each command line as it is executed from the file. ALLOW FILE=ALLOWTMP;SHOW In subsystem mode, enter ALLOW, followed by [Return]. You will be prompted with a ">". Command parameters are accepted until an end-of-file is received, or until you EXIT. The operator may ALLOW console capabilities only to users who are currently logged on to the system, unless the @.@ option of the ALLOW command is used. In this case, all users are affected, whether or not they are logged on. Additional capabilities granted to a user last only for the duration of their current session; once the user logs off, any special capabilities previously assigned are no longer applicable. The user command SHOWALLOW indicates which operator commands have been allowed globally and to which specific user. Refer to SHOWALLOW. This command can be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command. It is executable only from the console unless it is distributed to users with the ALLOW command.
To give the user MAC.TECH the ability to execute the REPLY and ABORTIO commands, you would enter the following on the system console ALLOW MAC.TECH;COMMANDS=REPLY,ABORTIO In subsystem mode, to give the user MGR.MANUALS the ability to execute the BREAKJOB command, you would enter the following on the system console ALLOW >MGR.MANUALS;COMMANDS=BREAKJOB >EXIT
