Syntax for creating a security cohort:

The CREATE COHORT command has the following inputs:

Table 1. CREATE COHORT inputs
Input	Description
<cohort-name>	An identifier for a cohort. The name must be unique among security cohort names. Due to the total size limitation of the system security label field, use short cohort names. For compatibility with other vendors, do not use delimited identifiers, only ASCII characters, and limit name length to 30 characters.
IN NONE	Specifies that the cohort does not have a parent cohort. IN NONE is the default if no IN clause is specified.
IN <parent-cohort>	Places the new cohort in the cohort hierarchy as a child of <parent-cohort>.
