Suppose jis wants to create the group called jis:6.001. He will first check to see whether the group exists. Then he will create it and add some people to it.
athena% pts examine jis:6.001 pts: User or group doesn't exist so couldn't look up id for jis:6.001 athena% pts creategroup jis:6.001 group jis:6.001 has id -65574 athena% pts adduser jis jis:6.001 athena% pts adduser lnp jis:6.001 athena% pts adduser cuban jis:6.001 athena% pts membership jis:6.001 Members of jis:6.001 are: lnp jis cubanNote that jis must add himself to the group jis:6.001; you are not by default a member of any group you create.
Now that he has created the group, he can give its members access to his scheme directory.
athena% fs sa scheme jis:6.001 all athena% fs la scheme Access list for scheme is Normal rights: jis:6.001 rlidwka system:expunge ld system:anyuser rl jis rlidwka srz rlidwk
You can use pts membership to get the members of most system-controlled lists as well as of user-controlled lists. Even though Moira can give you this information as well, it is sometimes faster to get the information from AFS.
Note that unlike NFS groups, you do not have to wait for system updates for changes to AFS groups to take effect. They take effect as soon as the user re-authenticates to the cell. The easiest way to do that is to type renew, and then enter your Athena password at the Password: prompt.
