Carl,

        One way to do it would be to set the access rights of each group to GU on
PROG, JOE, JANE, and JERRY and then setup group passwords.  JOE would only
know the password to PROG and JOE, JANE to PROG, JOE, and JANE, and JERRY to
JOE and JERRY.  Naturally, fixed passwords are only as secure as the people
that know them (and possibly share them) so you might need to change
passwords every so often.

Thanx,
        Jon

Subject: Setup security within an account?


Oh, boy.  I've been tasked to see if a particular setup for security within
an account is possible.  We are interested in restricting certain users to
certain groups within an account.

Here is an example.  The account PRODUCTION (I know it has more that 8
characters, go with me here.  I'm not in a really creative mood this
morning! ) has four users and five groups (users = OP, JOE, JANE, JERRY;
groups = PUB, PROG, JERRY, JOE and JANE).
OP - has access to all the groups on the account (the wonderfull AL
capability!).
JOE - has access to the groups PROG and JOE.
JANE - has access to the groups PROG, JOE and JANE.
JERRY - Only has access to the groups JOE and JERRY. (Jerry is a manager so
no one trusts him with the production stuff!).

Is this type of setup possible?  I've scratched my head and looked through
the manuals and have not figured out a way to do it.  Thoughts?  Comment?
Commentary?
