Finding Out Your Authority as a Group Member

A group is a number of users defined together because of their common needs. For example, a group may be all the secretaries in a particular department. A group shares common access requirements to resources or has similar attributes within the system.

When you log on, RACF® connects you to your default group. If you wish to connect to a group other than your default group, you can change the default group field in your user profile (using the ALTUSER command). See Changing Your Default Group for information on how to do this. When you are connected to a group, RACF allows you privileges within the group.
