In UNIX they should all be in separate groups. The recommended way is to have all in the same group as dsadm. So if that is dstage then these users have to be in dstage group as well as this new group. So lets say the new user is payrolluser then create a payrollgroup as well as dstage. Now create a PAYROLL project.

cd $DSHOME/../Projects
chgrp -R payrollgroup PAYROLL

Do the same for all the other headless users and projects.

Hmmm... I was going to make a snarky comment about 'headless users' never having heard the term before, but since Kim didn't...

I can only find mention of the term but no definition, anyone care to share it?

They ride horses through the woods looking for lost souls.

I think he means a user not associated with a person or generic user like etluser.

Ah... a 'functional' user, I guess.

Not too functional, he has no head.
