Creating or Changing XUSER entries 
Procedure
Creating New XUSER Entries
You can either create new XUSER entries interactively or import them from an XUSER file.
The DEFAULT user key already exists. As per the system default there is no data stored under this key yet. When you define the first XUSER entry, the data specified is stored under the DEFAULT user key. If you specify a key other than DEFAULT in this command, the data is stored under the specified key and under the existing DEFAULT user key as well.
Changing XUSER Entries
You change an existing XUSER entry by completely overwriting its data.
Operating system users can usually only change their own XUSER entries.
Exceptions:
The operating system user that has defined the DEFAULT user key can change this XUSER entry.
On Microsoft Windows, an operating system user who belongs to the Administrators group can change the XUSER entries of other operating system users. This is necessary where an operating system user that exists for an XUSER entry is not able to log on to the operating system interactively.
