PARAMETERS

group-name

Name of the group to add, delete, list, or modify. Wild cards may be used in conjunction with the /LIST qualifier.

A comma separated list group names to associated with the group being added or modified. The listed groups will become subgroups of the group being added or modified.

DESCRIPTION

The GROUP command is used to manipulate the popstore management groups. Only managers with either operating system privileges or a privileged popstore account with access to the world group may use this command. In regards to the latter case, that means that the manager's account must have the MANAGE usage flag set and either have no group name associated with the account---the empty group---or be in a management group which contains as a subgroup the world group. The one exception to this rule is that a manager may always use the /LIST qualifier to list their own management group and subgroups thereof. For further details on the usage of this command as well as usage examples, see Section 7.12 .

COMMAND QUALIFIERS

/ADD

This qualifier indicates that a new management group is to be added. If a group already exists with the same name, then an error will be output.

/CONFIRM

/NOCONFIRM (default)

Prompt for positive confirmation before carrying out the indicated operation. /NOCONFIRM is the default behavior.

/DELETE

This qualifier indicates that the specified management group is to be deleted. Note that subgroups contained within the group are not deleted by default. Specify /RECUR to also delete any subgroups. Moreover, the actual accounts in the group are not deleted either. They may only be deleted with a "DELETE/GROUP=group_name *" command.

/FORMAT_FILE=file-spec

Specify a formatting file to use to format the output of GROUP/LIST command.

/LIST

List the specified groups and subgroups. When this qualifier is used, the group-name parameter may contain wild card characters. When the parameter is omitted, * is assumed.

/LOG

/NOLOG (default)

When the operation is successful, output a status message stating that the operation succeeded. Note that error messages are always indicated. /NOLOG is the default behavior.

/MODIFY

Modify the specified group, replacing its list of subgroups with the specified list. If no list is specified, then the group is changed to contain no subgroups.

/OUTPUT=file-spec

Write the output to the specified file rather than to the terminal.

/RECUR

/NORECUR (default)

This qualifier may be used in conjunction with /DELETE. By default, only the specified group is deleted. Subgroups of that group are not deleted unless /RECUR is also specified.
