GROUP (privilege)

The GROUP privilege allows the user's process to affect other processes in its own group by executing the following process-control system services:

• Suspend Process ($SUSPND)
• Resume Process ($RESUME)
• Delete Process ($DELPRC)
• Set Priority ($SETPRI)
• Wake ($WAKE)
• Schedule Wakeup ($SCHDWK)
• Cancel Wakeup ($CANWAK)
• Force Exit ($FORCEX)

With GROUP privilege, a user's process can control another process in the same group. The user's process is allowed to examine other processes in its own group by executing the Get Job/Process Information ($GETJPI) system service. A process with GROUP privilege can issue the SET PROCESS command for other processes in its group.

GROUP privilege is not needed for a process to exercise control over, or to examine, subprocesses that it created or other [Detached Process|detached processes]] of its UIC. You should, however, grant this privilege to users who need to exercise control over the processes and operations of other members of their UIC group.
