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:

- Administration Functions

- Network Maintenance

- Reporting

- Monitoring

> 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 profile settings and functions. They are described in the relevant sections of this chapter.

## Deleting a User

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.

### Deleting Owner Links or Owners

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 must 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.

## 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 for a selected user how to define node default user IDs, auto logon and enabling LOGON NODE without Password. 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.

### Defining Node Default User IDs

To define a node default user ID for a user

1. In the Maintenance/Create new User window, open the tabbed page Node Defaults:

   All node default user IDs defined for the selected user are displayed in the table.

   (The table is empty if no node default user IDs have yet been defined for the selected user.)

   The table columns are described in Fields and Columns: Node Default User IDs.

2. If you want to modify a user definition, select the required table row and choose Modify.

   Or:
   If you want to add a user definition, choose Add.

   A Node Defaults window like the example below opens:

3. Add or replace the required values.

   The input fields are described in Fields and Columns: Node Default User IDs.

4. Choose OK to save your entries.

   The window closes, and the node defaults definition is added to or updated on the Node Defaults page.

### Fields and Columns: Node Default User IDs

The columns on the Node Defaults page and the corresponding fields in the Node Defaults window are explained in the following table:

Field/Column | Description
--- | ---
Node Number | Number defined for a node (see also Fields: Node Definition).
User ID | Operating system user ID to be used for the node.
Group | Name of a UNIX group or Windows domain to be used for the node logon if defined for the respective UNIX or Windows node (see also Default Group). A group name is not evaluated for mainframe nodes. See also Operating System User ID, Group, Domain in the User's Guide.
Logon Default (column LD) | Only applies if several node default user IDs are defined for a user and node. Select this option for the node user ID to be used by default for a node logon. You can specify only one logon default per user and node. If no logon default is specified, the default user ID (if defined) of the node is used. See also Special Definitions for a Node (Mainframe) and Special Definitions for a Node (UNIX and Windows). If only one operating system user ID is defined for a user and node, the Logon Node dialog is preset to this user ID. Possible column entries:
`Y` | Use as the logon default.
`N` or blank | Do not use as the logon default (default).
Auto Logon for JCL (column AJ) | (Administrator rights required.) Select this option to allow the specified user to automatically log on to the specified node for JCL editing, browsing or loading. Possible column entries:
`Y` | Enable automatic logon.
`N` or blank | Do not enable automatic logon (default).
Auto Logon for SYSOUT (column AS) | (Administrator rights required.) Select this option to allow the specified user to automatically log on to the specified node for browsing SYSOUT. Possible column entries:
`Y` | Enable automatic logon.
`N` or blank | Do not enable automatic logon (default).
Allow LOGON NODE without password (column NP) | (Administrator rights required.) Allow LOGON NODE for operating system user IDs without password, see the Direct Commands documentation.
`Y` | Enable LOGON NODE without password.
`N` or blank | Do not enable LOGON NODE without password (default).
Operating System | Information field/column containing the operating system returned for the specified node.

### Auto Logon Feature (for Mainframe Nodes)

Auto logon is allowed for particular combinations of mainframe node and a user ID.

Auto logon can be specified for

- JCL access

- SYSOUT access

### LOGON NODE without Password (for Mainframe Nodes)

LOGON NODE without password is allowed for particular combinations of a mainframe node and a user ID. See also Direct Commands.

Note
Enable this option only if the specified operating system user ID really has no password.

### Deleting Node Default User ID Definitions

To delete a node default user IDs for a user

- On the tabbed page Node Defaults, select the table row that contains the node definition you want to remove and choose Delete.

  The node definition is removed from the table.
