User identification number
The integrated file system uses the user identification number (uid) to identify a user and verify the user’s authority. Every user on the system must have a unique uid.
- Add User prompt:
- Not shown
- CL parameter:
- UID
- Length:
- 10,0
| *GEN | The system generates a unique uid for this user. The generated uid will be greater than 100. |
| uid | A value from 1 to 4294967294 to be assigned as the uid for this user. The uid must not be already assigned to another user. |
Recommendations: For most installations, let the system generate
a uid for new users by specifying UID(*GEN). However, if your system is part
of a network, you may need to assign uids to match those assigned on other
systems in the network. Consult your network administrator.
