Your idea about UV administrator group is one that we have wanted on our UV/Linux server too. Too many of the UV admin tools require root priviledges on the Unix servers. UV should not require root or system administrator privileges, but the admin functions should be assignable to a group of users. I agree IBM needs to make this type of mod to Universe.

JayJay,

Thanks for the reply.

I guess my point is that we WANT to grant a user complete usage of ALL
the functions within uniadmin. However, we specifically do not want them
to be a windows system administrator in order to use the tool.  And yes,
its ok if this individual can stop and start UV services - just those 2
or 3 services that are IN the uniadmin tool.   But we don't want them to
control other aspects of the server that are inherent when you are in
the administrator's group.

It seems like there is a need to have a administrator maintained group
code that can be associated with users that need to use the tool and the
tool checks to make sure the user trying to use it is a member of said
group.   This would accomplish our objective without granting
unnecessary priveleges.   (this sounds like a mod request for IBM to
implement for uniadmin)

This is not a good idea - you will be giving non-administrators the
right to change Windows services.....???
