DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

dasadm_group - DAS administration authority group name configuration parameter

This parameter defines the group name with DAS Administration (DASADM) authority for the DAS.

DASADM authority is the highest level of authority within the DAS.

DASADM authority is determined by the security facilities used in a specific operating environment.

For the Windows operating systems, this parameter can be set to any local group that is defined in the Windows security database. Group names are accepted as long as they are 30 bytes or less in length. If "NULL" is specified for this parameter, all members of the Administrators group have DASADM authority.
For Linux and UNIX systems, if "NULL" is specified as the value of this parameter, the DASADM group defaults to the primary group of the instance owner.
If the value is not "NULL", the DASADM group can be any valid UNIX group name.

This parameter can only be updated from a Version 8 command line processor (CLP).
