There are two ways to do this, one is proxies to specific applications.
The other is a generic guest account that has limited permissions.
Of course you can do an account for every one that wants to use it.

Basically anything you do under unix or NT is reasonable for VMS
and striaght forward.

One of two ways, by hand in Authorize or some version of VMS
had a script (DCL) that woul build a basic account.

  TASKS:

        Create the directory for the user.
        Create an account in Authorize with correct permissions
        and passwords.
        Provide a default login script, in the user account.

Consult HELP and and within Authorize HELP.
