Each user ID is associated with single or multiple owners in order to group network maintenance.

You can only list, access and maintain networks that belong to associated owners (unless you have administrator rights):

• The main (mandatory) owner to which your user ID is assigned at logon,

• The owners linked to your User ID and

• The owners which granted you individual network access.

This section provides an overview of the functions available to view and assign owners.

• Owner at Logon

• Linking Additional Owners

• Owners Granted Access to Individual Networks

Listing Owners

You can list all owners associated with your user ID.

To list owners

• In the Entire Operations Main Menu, press PF11 (Owner).

  Or:
  Use the SET OWNER direct command as described in the the Direct Commands documentation.

  An Owner List window similar to the example below opens:

  16-11-08 ***** Entire Operations ***** 16:24:34 Owner EXAMPLE Main Menu +-------------------------+ TQA5 ------------------------------------------- ! ! ------ ! ! Main Menu ! User NATQA5 ! ! Owner List ! 1 Network and Job Maintenance 20 ! ! 2 Active Job Networks 21 ! ** Top ** ! 3 Schedule Maintenance ! _ CHSCH ! 4 Calendar Maintenance ! _ DEMO ! 5 Log Information ! _ ESI ! 6 Symbol Tables ! _ EXAMPLE ! 7 System Administrator Services ! _ HEB ! 8 Reports ! _ INCIDENT ! 9 Cross References 30 ! _ MMOTEST ! 10 Import/Export ! _ MUT ! 11 Help ! _ NATQA ! ! _ NATQA5 ! ! ** more ** ! ! --PF3---PF7--PF8--- ! Command => ________________________________ ! End Up Down ! +-------------------------+ Enter-PF1---PF2---PF3---PF4---PF5---PF6---PF7---PF8---PF9---PF10--PF11--PF12--- Help End Owner Mail

  In the example above, all owners associated with the user ID NATQA5 are listed.

  You can press PF7 (Up) or PF8 (Down) to scroll up or down in the list.

Owner at Logon

Your user ID is assigned an Owner at Logon (main owner) in your user profile as described in Viewing, Adding and Modifying a User (Administration documentation).

When you log on to Entire Operations, your main owner (in the previous example, the owner EXAMPLE) is set for your current session by default. The display is filtered to show only those networks belonging to the main owner and its associated owners.

To change the current session owner

• From the Owner List window in the Entire Operations Main Menu, select the required owner with any character and press ENTER.

  Or:
  Use the SET OWNER direct command as described in the Direct Commands documentation.

  You can only change the session to an owner which is associated with your user ID (unless you have administrator rights).

Linking Additional Owners

(Administrator rights required)

In addition to the Owner at Logon specified in your user profile, you can link other owners to your user ID as required. See Adding and Removing User/Owner Links in the Administration documentation.

Owners Granted Access to Individual Networks

You can grant a user or an owner unrestricted or restricted access to a selected network by using the Granting Definition option of the network maintenance function described in Granting Definition: Authorizing Other Users or Owners to Access a Network in the section Network Maintenance.

Listing Granted Owners

You can view all users/owners who granted you network access by using the appropriate line commands of the Network Maintenance function: see Selecting a Range of Networks to be Listed.
