Adding groups who can log in

You must run the pscuiserverctl command with the set parameter to specify which UNIX (AIX®, Linux®), or IBM® i groups are allowed to log in to the PowerSC GUI. The PowerSC GUI checks the logonGroupList before the operating-system-level login check is performed.

  1. On the PowerSC GUI server, change the directory to /opt/powersc/uiServer/bin/.
  2. Run the pscuiserverctl command to specify one or more UNIX (AIX, Linux), or IBM i groups in which a user must be a member to log in to the PowerSC GUI. The user needs only to be a member of one of the groups. The groups that you specify are written to the /etc/security/powersc/uiServer/uiServer.conf.properties file.
    Tip: For UNIX (AIX and Linux) groups, you can use the groups username command to view the groups in which the user is a member. For IBM i groups, you can use the DSPAUTUSR command to view the groups in which the user is a member.
    The following example command specifies group1 and group2 as the UNIX groups:
    pscuiserverctl set logonGroupList group1,group2
    When the user logs in to the PowerSC GUI, the Knowledge Engineer status for the user is displayed in the top right of the banner.
