The GROUP privilege allows the user's process to affect other
processes in its own group by executing the following process-control
system services:
Suspend Process ($SUSPND) Resume Process ($RESUME) Delete Process ($DELPRC) Set Priority ($SETPRI) Wake ($WAKE) Schedule Wakeup ($SCHDWK) Cancel Wakeup ($CANWAK) Force Exit ($FORCEX)
With GROUP privilege, a user's process can control another
process in the same group. The user's process is allowed to examine
other processes in its own group by executing the Get Job/Process
Information ($GETJPI) system service. A process with GROUP privilege
can issue the SET PROCESS command for other processes in its group.
GROUP privilege is not needed for a process to exercise control
over, or to examine, subprocesses that it created or other detached
processes of its UIC. You should, however, grant this privilege
to users who need to exercise control over the processes and operations
of other members of their UIC group.
