SPYGROUP

Description

Specifies the name of a group of users, or terminals that may be spied upon.

This common end-user parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), and TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement).

Format

SPYGROUP groupname|*

Usage

The groupname must be defined on a GROUP statement. An asterisk means that all users or terminals specified on any GROUP statement can be spied upon.

Note: This means that a user with this option can at any time view the current screen of any of the users, profiles, or terminals in the group identified by the groupname. Therefore, due consideration should be given to any security exposure likely to arise before allowing a user this privilege.
