(Quoting my reply to the same question on RACF-L) We get 'create like' requests quite often, as if there were some Like button we could push to clone a userid. It's actually pretty complex. A LISTUSER does not show all salient attributes. For example, to show allowed logon PROC(s), you have to check the TSOPROC class. For other attributes, you have to check the TSOAUTH class. And don't forget the ACCTNUM class. This complexity is the main reason that we're still on UADS after all these years: automated processes created decades ago would have to change substantially to accommodate these additional data compartments, and nobody has presented a compelling business case to convert. Even with UADS and a concomitant ACCOUNT LIST command, you still have to do lots of parsing and manipulating.
OTOH if you're itching to get really proficient in Rexx, this would make a first rate exercise. ;-) . .

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> Hi 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
