Status Not under consideration

Group system in userfile.cfg (UNIX)

In an environment with hundreds of users defined in the same userfile.cfg, it would be nice to be able to govern them through a system of groups or profiles to reduce administration time and avoid unnecessary failures.

What is your industry? Banking
How will this idea be used?

Imagine having a userfile.cfg with 500 users defined and you must add or modify the value of a parameter of 300 users.


If you could govern these 300 users from the same group it would be a great help for the administrator.


This is just an example, but managing groups or profiles would greatly help any update to the userfile.cfg.

    Since the idea has been on "Need more Information" status awaiting inputs from customer for a considerable time, we are turning the status to Not under Consideration. Please feel free to submit a fresh idea with details if needed. Thank you for your understanding.


    Thanks,

    Product Management Team

    Hi, which is the main reason to put in "not under consideration" status?
