DataStage Groups and Project access

[attu]

Hi,

We have a scenario:

user_1
primary group: tstproj1
secondary group: dstage1

user_2
primary group: tstproj2
secondary group: dstage1

user_nnnnn
primary group: tstproj9
secondary group: (cannot add dstage1, as it is full - having too many users and going beyond the limit of users)


When we install DataStage we use dsadm and primary group is dstage1.
All files and directories have dstage1 as the group. When any developer wants to access the project we simply assign his group e.g. tstproj6 in .developer.adm for the respective project, And that user also needs to have dstage1 as his secondary group otherwise he will not be able to login to the project. Is there a way where developer's can access the project without dstage1 in .developer.adm ?

Now the only way around is to have all developers to change their primary groups to dstage1 ( as this would have no limitations on how many users can add dstage1 as primary group) but developers will face issues maintaining their files in their project related file system e.g. /ods/input/data as the group permissions are not dstage1 there and they have tstproj1 as group having rwx access.


I would appreciate if someone can provide some feedback on this above scenario.
