Abstract
This chapter provides information about user accounts. OpenVMS is designed for many users, for each authorized user, it maintains a user account. Each account has a unique name, known as the username, and an associated password. The user account defines nearly every aspect of the user identity on the system:the username, the location for files, rights and privileges, and limits on resource consumption. A user need not understand all aspects of it in great detail, as the system manager will assign the appropriate settings. However, user interactions with the system will be more intuitive if user has a general understanding of the account. A User Identification Code (UIC) is associated with each user account. A UIC is the combination of a group number and a member number. UIC is used to grant or deny access to system objects, such as files.
