    attribute.
    

Local fix

    aix.security.user.create.admin authorization for non-root
    users needing to run smitty mkuser.
    

Problem summary

    the user belongs to the security group.
    

Problem conclusion

  • changes have been made in the the smitty script so that
    security group user ll be able to create a normal user when
    admin=false.
