Usage Notes
userid
*
Privilege Class: A
Use SET SYSOPER to change the user ID of the primary system operator on your
system.
userid
is the user ID that is to become the active operator. The specified user must:
v Be logged on or disconnected
v Possess at least one of the privilege classes required for system operators,
which are defined on the PRIV_CLASSES statement in the system
configuration file, or must be the special operator user ID defined on the
SYSTEM_USERIDS statement.
* represents the user ID of the virtual machine issuing the command. The virtual
machine must possess at least one of the privilege classes required for system
operators, which are defined on the PRIV_CLASSES statement in the system
configuration file.
1. Use the QUERY SYSOPER command to display the user ID of the current
primary system operator.
For more information, see “QUERY SYSOPER” on page 1016.
SET SYSOPER
2. If the target virtual machine’s user ID is specified as the system operator ID on
the SYSTEM_USERIDS statement in the system configuration file, it need not
have any special privilege classes.
3. You can also change the primary system operator by logging off the current
primary system operator and logging on the desired operator ID. As with the
SET SYSOPER command, the new primary operator must either possess the
required privilege classes or must be the special operator user ID specified on
the SYSTEM_USERIDS statement in the system configuration file.
4. An alternative to the above is to use the ALTERNATE_OPERATORS statement
in the system configuration file. The ALTERNATE_OPERATORS statement lets
you specify a list of user IDs that can become the system operator automatically
when the primary system operator logs off. For more information on using the
ALTERNATE_OPERATORS statement, see the z/VM: CP Planning and
Administration.
5. The primary system operator receives all messages sent to the OPERATOR
user ID.
