Usage notes
The LOGCTL command adds, deletes, or changes group entries in the password table. If add (A) or change (C) is specified, Model 204 prompts for information as shown in the dialog below.
The system manager can change any of the following specifications in a group entry:
-
Password
-
Privileges
-
User class

Field level security levels
-
Terminal list
Upon entry of the LOGCTL command, the system responds with a prompt in the following form:
*** M204.0374: ENTER FILE/GROUP PASSWORD,PRIVILEGES, CLASS, SELECT, READ, UPDATE, ADD password,X'pppp',ccc,sss,rrr,uuu,aaa
Where:
| password | is the user's password (1 to 8 characters). It cannot contain blanks, commas, or colons. |
|---|---|
| pppp | is the two-byte representation of the group privileges. (See PRIVDEF: Default user privileges.) |
| ccc | is the procedure user class. |
| sss | is the field-level security SELECT level. |
| rrr | is the field-level security READ level. |
| uuu | is the field-level security UPDATE level. |
| aaa | is the field-level security ADD level. (For information on field-level security, see the Model 204 System Manager's Guide.) |
When a group entry is being added, the password is required and all other specifications are optional. Model 204 supplies default values of zero.
When a group entry is being changed, all specifications are optional. If the system manager does not supply a specification in the command, the existing specification in the password table is preserved, as described for login user IDs.
Note: While the LOGCTL command is being processed, any attempts to log in fail.
