GBCH-USER(1)

NAME
gbch-user - list batch user details.

SYNOPSIS
gbch-user [ -options ]

DESCRIPTION
gbch-user provides 4 functions:

With no arguments it lists the permissions for the invoking user and exits.

With the -m option it enables the invoking user to edit his own default job and variable permissions. The user must have change default modes permission to do this.

With the -v option it enables the invoking user to interactively review the list of permissions for all users. The user must have read admin file permission to do this.

With the -i option it enables the invoking user to interactively review and update the list of permissions for all users. The user must have write admin file permission to do this. For more information about the details of the interactive commands, please see the on-line help information, obtained by pressing ? (although this may be changed on your site). This section focuses on the command-line options which may be used to control the initial display.
