Managing Accounts

This section examines account management in the context of individual users and groups of users. This section:

• Describes the facilities for managing accounts that are available in the SYSPROG account

• Looks at the structure of items that identify the account and users of the account at the system level

• Looks at how to tailor an account’s Master Dictionary

• Describes briefly accounting history, system messages, and security on an account level

Account management is primarily the responsibility of the system administrator. It involves issues that affect all users of the system and requires access to the SYSPROG account. However, application programmers should understand the issues involved in maintaining and managing multiple user accounts, and the activity of users working in those accounts.

The following topics are presented in this section:
