Steps for authorizing users to perform DirMaint tasks

Before you begin

From the previous steps, you need to remain logged onto the 7VMDIR30 virtual machine.

About this task

The AUTHFOR CONTROL file specifies user IDs allowed to perform authorized DirMaint tasks. It would be convenient to specify certain user IDs to do these tasks; otherwise, you need to log on the DIRMAINT virtual machine each time you want to do them. In this procedure, you authorize MAINT to perform DirMaint tasks.

Procedure

Create and edit the AUTHFOR CONTROL file on the J-disk.
```
xedit authfor control j
```
On the XEDIT command line, type this command and press the Enter key to enter input mode:
```
====>  input
```

Type these lines in the input area:

⋮
ALL MAINT * 140A ADGHOPS
ALL MAINT * 150A ADGHOPS

Press the Enter key twice to return to editing mode.
From the XEDIT command line, type this command and press the Enter key:
```
====>  file
```
