XGROUP Class

Each record in the XGROUP class defines a group of users in the database.
capamsc141
Each record in the XGROUP class defines a group of users in the database.
The key of each XGROUP class record is the name of the group.
The properties of profile groups apply to each user associated with the profile group. However, if the same property is specified in a user (USER or XUSER) record, the user record overrides those in the profile group record.
You can change most of these properties from the 
Privileged Access Manager
Endpoint Management, or by using the selang command chxgrp.
Usually, and unless otherwise indicated, to change a property using chxgrp, you use the property name as the command parameter.
You can view all properties from the 
Privileged Access Manager
Endpoint Management, or by using the selang command showxgrp.
  • APPLS
    (Informational) Displays the list of applications that the accessor is authorized to access. Used by CA SSO.
  • AUDIT_MODE
    Defines the activities that 
    Privileged Access Manager
    records in the audit log. You can specify any combination of the following activities:
    • No logging
    • All activities recorded in the trace file
    • Unsuccessful login attempts
    • Successful logins
    • Failed access attempts to resources protected by
      Privileged Access Manager
    • Successful accesses to resources protected by
      Privileged Access Manager
    • Interactive logins
    This property corresponds to the audit parameter of the ch[x]usr and ch[x]grp commands. You can use AUDIT_MODE for a GROUP or XGROUP to set the audit mode for all members of the group. However, you cannot use AUDIT_MODE to set the audit mode for group members if a user's audit mode is defined in a USER record, XUSER record, or profile group.
  • AUTHNMTHD
    (Informational) Displays the authentication method or methods to be used with the group record; from method 1 to method 32, or none. Used by CA SSO.
  • COMMENT
    Defines additional information that you want to include in the record.
    Privileged Access Manager
    does not use this information for authorization.
    Limit:
    255 characters.
  • CREATE_TIME
    (Informational) Displays the date and time when the record was created.
  • DAYTIME
    Defines the day and time restrictions that govern when an accessor can access a resource.
    Use the restrictions parameter with the chres, ch[x]usr, or ch[x]grp commands to modify this property.
    The resolution of daytime restrictions is one minute.
  • EXPIRE_DATE
    Defines the date on which an accessor becomes invalid. A value for the EXPIRE_DATE property in a user record overrides a value in a group record.
    Note:
    This property corresponds to the expire[-] parameter of the ch[x]usr and ch[x]grp commands.
  • FULLNAME
    Defines the full name associated with an accessor. 
    Privileged Access Manager
    uses the full name to identify the accessor in audit log messages, but not for authorization.
    FULLNAME is an alphanumeric string. For groups, the maximum length is 255 characters. For users, the maximum length is 47 characters.
  • GAPPLS
    Defines the list of application groups that the group is authorized to access. Used by CA SSO.
  • GROUP_MEMBER
    Defines the groups that are members of this group.
  • GROUP_TYPE
    Specifies the group authority attributes. Each of these attributes corresponds to the parameter of the same name in the ch[x]grp command. A group can have one or more of the following authority attributes:
    • ADMIN
      Specifies whether a user who belongs to the group can perform administrative functions, similar to root in the UNIX environment.
    • AUDITOR
      Specifies whether a user who belongs to the group can monitor the system, list information in the database, and can set the audit mode for existing records.
    • OPERATOR
      Specifies whether a user who belongs to the group can list everything in the database and can use the secons utility.
    • PWMANAGER

  • OWNER
    Defines the user or group that owns the record.
  • PROFUSR
    Displays a list of the users associated with this profile group.
  • PWD_AUTOGEN
    Indicates whether the group password is automatically generated. The default is no. Used by CA SSO.
  • PWD_SYNC
    Indicates whether the group password is automatically kept identical for all group applications. The default is no. Used by CA SSO.
  • PWPOLICY
    Defines the record name of the password policy for the group. A password policy is a set of rules for checking the validity of a new password and for defining when a password expires. The default is no validity check. Used by CA SSO.
  • REVACL
    Displays the access control lists of the accessor.

  • SUBGROUP
    Displays the list of groups that have this group as a parent.
  • SUPGROUP
    Defines the name of the parent group (superior group).
    Use the parent[-] parameter with the ch[x]grp command to modify this property.
  •  
  • SUSPEND_DATE
    Defines the date on which a user account is suspended and so becomes invalid.
    If the suspend date for a record precedes its resume date, the user can work before the suspend date and after the resume date.
    This property corresponds to the suspend[-] parameter of the ch[x]usr and ch[x]grp commands.
    XGROUP Class 1
    XGROUP Class 1
    If a user has a resume date that is earlier than the suspend date, the record is also invalid
    before
    the resume date. The user can work only between the resume and suspend dates.
    XGROUP_Class_2
    XGROUP_Class_2
  • A value for the SUSPEND_DATE property in a user record overrides the value in a group record.
  • SUSPEND_WHO
    Displays the administrator who activated the suspend date.

    (Informational) Displays the date and time when the record was last modified.
  • UPDATE_WHO
    (Informational) Displays the administrator who performed the update.
  • USERLIST
    Displays the users that belong to the group.
    The user list that is contained in this property may be different from the one in the native environment USERS property.
