# Owner Maintenance

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.

### Listing Owners Linked to a User

To list all owners linked to a current user

1. In the object workspace, select the General metanode and choose Show linked Owners from the context menu.

   Or:
   Use the `SET OWNERLIST LINKED` direct command as described in the Direct Commands documentation.

   The tree view in the object workspace is reset.

2. Expand the Owner metanode node or choose List from the Owner context menu.

   All owners linked to the current user are listed in the tree node or list window of the content pane, respectively.

For explanations of the Owner via Granting metanode, see Owners Granted Access to Individual Networks.

### Listing All Owners (SYSDBA Access)

This function requires administrator rights.

To list all owners

1. In the object workspace, select the General metanode and choose Show all Owners from the context menu.

   Or:
   Use the `SET OWNERLIST ALL` direct command as described in the Direct Commands documentation.

   The tree view in the object workspace is reset and the Owner metanode changes to Owner (SYSDBA access).

2. Expand the Owner (SYSDBA access) node or choose List from the Owner (SYSDBA access) context menu.

   All owners defined for the environment are listed in the tree node or list window of the content pane, respectively.

## 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

- On the Main page of the Maintenance User window (see the Administration documentation), replace the name of the owner entered in the Owner at logon box.

  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 and Owners 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

The Owner via Granting metanode lists all owners who granted network access for your user ID.

The hierarchy below the Owner via Granting metanode shows networks granted to your user ID or to an owner linked to your user ID if the owner of these networks is not linked to your user ID. A granted owner who is also linked in your user profile is only listed in the Owner node.

All networks are separated in the tree view hierarchy by their respective owner as shown in the example below:

The context menus of the Owner via Granting nodes provide the following functions:

Function | Shortcut | Explanation
--- | --- | ---
List | F8 | Lists all owners who granted you access. This list corresponds to the owner nodes in the tree view of the object workspace. See also Example of an Owner via Granting List below.
Refresh | F5 | See Refreshing Object Lists.
Filter | F3 | Selection criteria for listing granted network masters: see Filtering Objects.
Set Drag And Drop Function | --- | See Drag & Drop.

#### Example of an Owner via Granting List

The functions available for a granted network master correspond to the functions available for a network master: see Available Functions: Network Master.

## Adding and Removing an Owner

An owner is added when entering a name for Owner at Logon or during a user/owner link operation.

An owner is deleted when replacing an Owner at Logon or removing a link to a user.

For detailed information, see Adding and Removing User/Owner Links and Owners in the Administration documentation.
