If you are wanting one user to be able to access files in a particular 
group, and others user in the same account be denied access to files in 
that group, then the following should work.

ALTGROUP THEGRP;ACCESS=(S,L,A,R,W,X:GU);PASS=FOOBAR
ALTUSER THEONE;HOME=THEGRP

So the user "THEONE" will logon without being prompted for the group 
password FOOBAR, because it is the users home group.

Other "NORMAL" users who are not "HOME'd" to the group will not be able 
to access any file in "THEGRP" group,
 unless a RELEASE is applied to the file,
 or the account manager issues an ALTUSER xxxx;HOME=THEGRP

If a user of the account issues a CHGROUP THEGRP command (to become a 
group user of THEGRP) they will be asked for the password assigned to 
the group.

NOTE:
Users with capabilities like SM,AM,AL,GL, and possibly PM will be able 
to access THEGRP.
Altering a users home group may have negative consequences for any 
application that is not using 'group' qualified filenames, however 
adding file equations to the users logon UDC may solve that problem.
