User Maintenance

In Entire Operations, a user ID can be used to enter the system. Several users can log on to Entire Operations with the same user ID and password at the same time. For reasons of data security and in order to trace data modifications, however, each user usually has a personal user ID and password.

This document covers the following topics

  2. Add the required information and profile settings in the same way as when modifying a user.

    When you are finished, choose OK to save the user definition and profile settings.

User Definition and Profile Settings

You define a user profile to Entire Operations and set main user defaults by using the fields in the upper half of the Maintenance/Create new User window and on the Main page.

All other pages of the Maintenance/Create new User window are used to define user privileges for distinct maintenance functions and manage individual preferences for default system settings.

User profiles can be modified individually at any time.

Note:
We recommend that a user with a modified profile logs off from Entire Operations after the changes are made and logs on again to refresh the session. This guarantees that all profile changes are in effect.

Field Description
User ID  Entire Operations user ID.

This is the user ID with which the user should log on to Entire Operations.

See also the sections Entire Operations User IDs and Operating System User IDs in the User's Guide.

Owner at Logon  A job network belongs to an owner.

Users linked to that owner are allowed to perform any activity on that network. This includes the granting of some job network functions to other users. The owner at logon must always be defined.

See also the section Owner at Logon in the User's Guide.

You can link additional owners to a user as described in Adding and Removing User/Owner Links and Owners.

Note:
A user linked to the owner SYSDBA is authorized to access any objects in the whole system.

Profile Template

(optional)

User ID of a predefined template user.

The selection of an existing user sets all the attributes to the value of the corresponding attributes in the referenced profile. The predefined templates change permission values.

The field Profile template is reset if an attribute of the user maintenance window is manually modified.

Default templates:

General User Use default general user profile.
Operator Use default operator profile.
Administrator Use default administrator profile.
If you enter a value in the selection box, you can use the following abbreviations: G (General User), O (Operator) or A (Administrator).

The user's settings can be modified individually later.

User Type  Determine the tasks the user is allowed to do.

The value entered here sets certain authorization defaults in the user profile. Possible selection options:

General User User with general rights.

The general user can only view and maintain the Entire Operations objects allowed by the administrator.

In addition, the user can view and maintain the objects allowed to the owners and users associated with the user.

Operator User with operator rights.

The operator can view and maintain all Entire Operations objects and perform all system maintenance functions allowed by the administrator.

Administrator User with administrator rights.

The administrator can view and maintain any Entire Operations objects and perform any system maintenance functions.

With these options, the profile settings of a user are predefined.

Language Determine the user language under which Entire Operations is to run.

Possible selection options:

English English.
German German.
Max. Lines in Log Display Determine the maximum number of lines shown in the log display.

The maximum number can be overridden in the Log Display Selection window (see Log Information in the User's Guide).

A value of zero (0) or an empty field means that there is no line limit.
E-Mail E-mail address used for notifications sent to the user by Entire Operations.

The commercial at sign (@) can also be coded as (a).

Mailboxes  Mailbox(es) associated with the user.

User is notified of any pending requests linked to these mailboxes. You can specify up to 10 mailboxes per user.

Profile Settings for User Authorization

Defining a user profile consists of authorizing the user for a certain level of activity in the various system facilities.

User authorizations fall into the following groups:

Authorization Options

The user privileges that can be granted for a function depend on the user type defined for the user: general user (type G), operator (type O) and system administrator (type A).

You can select one of the following authorization options for each function listed in the window (choose OK to save modifications):

Option/Check Box Setting Authorization
enable checked  Allow function.
enable unchecked Disallow function.
read checked Read access only (no definition/modification of item allowed).
write checked  Read/write access (definition/modification allowed, but no delete).
delete checked Read/write/delete access (all functions allowed).
other option settings Specific or additional options that can be set for particular profile settings and functions. They are described in the relevant sections of this chapter.

Deleting a User

Start of instruction set To delete a user definition and profile

  1. In the object workspace, select the user you want to delete from the User metanode.

  2. Open the context menu and choose Delete or press DELETE.

    A confirmation window opens.

  3. Choose Yes to confirm the deletion or No to cancel the action.

Note:
Deleting a user does not necessarily also delete the owner specified as Owner at Logon for this user. You can use the OW-MB--P utility (administrator rights required) to make sure that an owner is entirely removed from the environment: see Mass Change of the Owner and Owner Deletion in the User's Guide.

Adding and Removing User/Owner Links and Owners

In addition to the Owner at Logon who must be defined in a user profile, you can link a user to other owners and remove existing links or delete owners.

If other owners are defined, the user can switch to one of them during the session.

Notes:

  1. A user linked to the owner SYSDBA is authorized to access any object in the entire Entire Operations system environment.
  2. New owner names must start with a letter and may not contain blanks.

Linking Users to Owners

Start of instruction set To link a user to an additional owner

  1. Open the Owner List page of the Maintenance/Create new User window shown in the following example:

    graphics/user_owner_list_tab.png

    The list box shows all owners (if already specified) linked to the user.

  2. Choose Add and enter the name of an additional owner (here: SAGTEST) or select an owner from the drop-down list box.

  3. Choose OK to confirm your action.

Deleting Owner Links or Owners

Start of instruction set To delete an owner link or an owner

  • Replace the name in the Owner at logon field of the Maintenance/Create new User window.

    Or:
    Open the Owner List page of the Maintenance/Create new User window.

    The list box shows all owners linked to the user.

    Select the owner you want to delete and choose Delete and then OK to confirm the deletion.

    The link to the owner is removed for the selected user, or the owner is deleted if not associated with any other users.

The following applies when deleting an owner from a list or maintenance window:

  • The owner cannot be deleted if it is still linked to the following Entire Operations objects: calendar, network, symbol table and/or event.

  • Furthermore, an owner cannot be deleted if it is specified as the main owner (Owner at Logon) for any user. You have to replace the name before you can delete the owner.

  • If an owner is deleted, all links to the user are removed.

  • Deleting an owner from a list or window does not necessarily delete all references associated with this user. The owner can remain unused in your environment. Use the OW-MB--P utility (administrator rights required) to make sure that an owner is entirely removed: see Mass Change of the Owner and Owner Deletion in the section Entire Operations Utilities.

See also the Message column in the example of a system log shown in the User's Guide.

unchecked Messages in the log display are not prefixed with their message code (default).

Operating System Server Default User IDs for a User

For each operating system server node a user is working with, you can define a node default user ID per user. By default, the content of the Natural system variable *USER (described in the Natural System Variables documentation) is used for a node logon.

You can define single or multiple node default user IDs for a user. Apart from these node/user definitions, a user can, of course, also use any other node user IDs that are not defined in the user profile.

This section describes how to define node default user IDs for a selected user. For a mass change to node/user definitions, you can use the NOPUNA-P utility described in Mass Update for User Access to Nodes in the User's Guide.
