From the HELP ADDUSER command <quote> ))MODEL(dsname) Specifies the name of a discrete data set profile that is used as a model when new data set profiles are created that have userid as the high-level qualifier. For this operand to be effective, the MODEL(USER) option (specified on the SETROPTS command) must be active. RACF always prefixes the data set name with userid when it accesses the model. For information about automatic profile modeling, refer to z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide. </quote> To answer the OP's question. There is not a command or process supplied by IBM with the base RACF which will clone a user. What I do is run an IRRDBU00 to unload the RACF DB. I then run IRRRID00 against this for the clone-from user. This puts out RACF command to _delete_ the given user. I use these command to make a "reverse" set of command to do the corresponding command to add a new user. I rarely do this, or I would write a REXX program to do it for me. Or, if I were in a nasty mood, perhaps a z/OS UNIX base PERL program just to piss off the others in my group. They hate z/OS UNIX because "it's not Windows". Oh, how I have that (and Windows too). > > HTH, > > <snip> > Any way to copy (clone) a RACF user profile under another user name ? > So I would like to have a new user USER2 with the same attributes as the > existing USER1. > </snip> > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > -- Wasn't there something about a PASCAL programmer knowing the value of everything and the Wirth of nothing?
