[.IMU] IMU is a Rights Identifier Management utility program that permits authorized, non-priviledged, users to "Grant" and "Revoke" certain Rights Identifiers to/from other users via an "Authorize" like set of commands. For example: IMU> GRANT/ID identifier username IMU therefore allows the authorized users to manage their own generic Rights Identifiers (such as application or project oriented identifiers) specifically set up for them by the System Manager without needing access to the "Authorize" utility. Users may optionally be granted the ability to authorize other users to grant and revoke the Rights Identifiers under their control via the ACL editor. 2. [.SECURITY] The Security program is an idle terminal watch program that monitors the system for terminals that have been left idle and automatically logs them off if it has been idle a specified period of time. A terminal (process) is considered idle by Security if it has not generated a minimum amount of CPU time or a minimum number of Buffered IO's during a set time period. The following is a summary of the basic features of Security V2.0. 1. Idle terminals are logged out when idle period is exceeded. 2. Idle terminals may, optionally be warned of pending logout. 3. Security Alarms are optionally sent to OPCOM. 4. Subprocess activity is included in the idle computations. 5. Processes running "Critical Images" are immune. 6. The list of "Critical Images" may be modified. 7. A Log file of all Security activity is produced. 8. All Operational Parameters may be set via system logicals.
