Issue:

How to grant access to start and stop the CA services to a non-root user, via unisrvcntr.

Environment

Autosys Workload Automation 11.3.x , r12.0

Resolution

In order to grant users access to use the unisrvcntr command to start and stop the CA Services, follow these steps:

1. Login as root or su to root
   
   
2. Go to your ../SharedComponents/csutils/bin directory
   
   
3. For example, this command will add the user: autosys to be able to stop and start ALL the CA Services:
   
             unisrvcntr useradd --name=autosys all
   
   The usage is as follows:
   
             unisrvcntr useradd --name=<OS_USER> <service name or all>
   
   You can specify individual services. Example:
   
            unisrvcntr useradd --name=autosys CA-cci CA-wcc
   
   
4. Logoff root and login as the user. You should be able to start and stop the ca services.
