Switching UIDs with the SU primary command

From the entry or directory list panels, you can switch to super-user mode (UID 0) or switch back to your initial UID with the SU primary command. Use this format:


>>-SU--+--------+----------------------------------------------><
       '-UIDnum-'

where:

UIDnum: The UID to which you you want to switch.

Note: To switch to another UID, you must have permission to the BPX.DAEMON facility class (if defined).

If you do not specify a UID number, you are switched either to UID 0 (if you are currently operating under your UID), or reset back to your UID (if you are currently operating in super-user mode).
