The GROUP privilege allows the user's process to affect otherprocesses in its own group by executing the following process-controlsystem 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 anotherprocess in the same group. The user's process is allowed to examineother processes in its own group by executing the Get Job/ProcessInformation ($GETJPI) system service. A process with GROUP privilegecan issue the SET PROCESS command for other processes in its group.
GROUP privilege is not needed for a process to exercise controlover, or to examine, subprocesses that it created or other detachedprocesses of its UIC. You should, however, grant this privilegeto users who need to exercise control over the processes and operationsof other members of their UIC group.
