Use the ADDGROUP command to define a new group to RACF. The command adds a profile for the new group to the RACF database. It also establishes the relationship of the new group to the superior group you specify. Group profiles consist of a RACF segment and, optionally, other segments such as DFP and OMVS. You can use this command to specify information in any segment of the profile.

Use the ADDUSER command to define a new user to RACF and establish the user's relationship to an existing RACF-defined group. The command adds a profile for the new user to the RACF database and creates a connect profile that connects the user to whichever default group you specify.

Use the ALTUSER command to change the information in a user's profile, including the user's system-wide attributes and authorities. The user profile consists of a RACF segment and, optionally, other segments such as a TSO segment or a DFP segment. You can use this command to change information in any segment of the user's profile.

Use the ADDSD command to add RACF protection to data sets with either discrete or generic profiles.

Use the PERMIT command to maintain the lists of users and groups authorized to access a particular resource.
