515.0. "Is there a DEFAULT DRAS User record?" by CSC32::R_BUCK (Authenticated and assimilated) Wed Jan 29 1997 17:44

    Customer wanted to know if DRAS Manager had a "default" user that
    could be modified.  As far as I can tell, there is no default that 
    can be viewed and/or changed.
    
    Customer would like to request a default user record that can be
    modified in order to have a site specific set of attributes that can be
    easily cloned when setting up users in DRAS.  Ultimately the customer
    would really like a default record for each unique group.
    
    Did I miss a function that is already available?  Any thoughts on
    adding this kind of capability??

While there are 'defaults' for some things, I suspect the customer is looking more for something along the line of the DEFAULT user in OpenVMS' AUTHORIZE utility, thereby allowing commands like: UAF> COPY DEFAULT NEWUSER ... and UAF> MODIFY DEFAULT ... > Customer would like to request a default user record that can be > modified in order to have a site specific set of attributes that can be > easily cloned when setting up users in DRAS.

You didn't miss anything. Sounds like a great idea to me. Petition the Product Manager. -Mark

That is correct. There is no DEFAULT user (or group, session, or anything
else). While there are 'defaults' for some things, I suspect the customer
is looking more for something along the line of the DEFAULT user in
OpenVMS' AUTHORIZE utility, thereby allowing commands like:

	UAF> COPY DEFAULT NEWUSER ...
and
	UAF> MODIFY DEFAULT ...

You didn't miss anything.  Sounds like a great idea to me. Petition the
Product Manager.
