FORMAT
The following list of access_list parameters specifies the access_list content:

  name
The name of the access list as defined for userset_name in

  type
The type of the access list, currently one of ACL, or DEPT or a combination of both in a comma separated list. Depending on this parameter the access list can be used as access list only or as a department.

  oticket
The amount of override tickets currently assigned to the department.

  fshare
The current functional share of the department.

  entries
The entries parameter contains the comma separated list of those UNIX users (see user_name in or those primary UNIX groups that are assigned to the access list or the department. Only a user's primary UNIX group is used; secondary groups are ignored. Only symbolic names are allowed. A group is differentiated from a user name by prefixing the group name with a '@' sign. Pure access lists allow enlisting any user or group in any access list.

When using departments, each user or group enlisted may only be enlisted in one department, in order to ensure a unique assignment of jobs to departments. To jobs whose users do not match with any of the users or groups enlisted under entries the defaultdepartment is assigned, if existing.
