Change Attribute Value

This instruction enables the attributes of an existing user or group to be changed. It consists of the single character V followed by either + to set an attribute to a new value, or - to reset an attribute to its default value. Both the user/group and the attribute must already exist.

V+name,attribute,value

Change the attribute belonging to user or group name to value.

V-name,attribute

Reset the attribute belonging to user or group name to its default.

For example,

V+fred,DESCRIPTION,Fred Bloggs

Note 

As well as the IPEADMIN user or IPEBACKGROUND user, a user can change their own attributes if the attribute has the U flag set. Also the supervisor of a user or group can change attributes with the S flag set.
