z/OS Security Server RACF Messages and Codes

IRR52174I
Incorrect [UID|GID] id. This value is already in use by name.

Explanation

You tried to assign a user a UID value that is already in use, or you tried to assign a group a GID that is already in use. The user or group is identified by name. Note that it is possible that more than one user or group is using the value, but only one of them is identified, and that one is arbitrarily chosen. If you want to see a complete list, issue SEARCH CLASS(USER) UID(id) or SEARCH CLASS(GROUP) GID(id).

System action

Command processing stops.

User response

Do one of the following tasks:
  1. Choose another value for id and issue SEARCH CLASS(USER) UID(id) or SEARCH CLASS(GROUP) GID(id) to make sure that the new value is not also in use. Then, reissue the original command with the new value for id.
  2. Let RACF® choose an unused value for you by reissuing the command with the AUTOUID or AUTOGID keyword. For example: ADDUSER JORDAN OMVS(AUTOUID)
  3. Reissue the command with the SHARED keyword to force RACF to assign the id despite it already being in use. The SHARED keyword requires the SPECIAL attribute or READ authority to the SHARED.IDS resource in the UNIXPRIV class.

RACF Security Administrator Response

If the command issuer should be allowed to assign shared UIDs and GIDs, then permit the user with READ access to the resource named SHARED.IDS in the UNIXPRIV class. The user should then reissue the command using the SHARED keyword.
