From the Network Security Main Menu, select option 2 to display the Work with Security by User panel. Press F6 to create a new user rule.
What it Does
The Create User Rule panel allows you to create a User Rule.
Field Descriptions
System
System indicates the target of any operations you perform. When you add rules, for example, those rules will be sent to, and will affect processing on, the System named.
User Type
This field is used to indicate whether the associated User field refers to an O/S user profile or a Network Security User Group.
Valid values are:
User
If the associated User Type is a 'U', User represents the identity of the person initiating a transaction as a user profile.
The special value *PUBLIC, when used on a rule, means that the rule applies to any User lacking a specific rule. When used as a subset or selection parameter, *PUBLIC means to select all such rules for display or printing.
If the associated User Type is a 'G', User represents a Network Security User Group.
Server
A Server in Network Security is a controlled entry point into your system. These entry points are determined and defined by IBM. Network Security has assigned easy-to-remember names to these controlled entry points.
Function
A Function, or Server Function, in Network Security represents a class of operations that a given Server may perform. For example, the *SIGNON Server classifies its operations as those pertaining to changing passwords, generating authentication tokens, and retrieving signon information. Network Security has assigned easy-to-remember names to these Functions, such as CHGPWD, GENAUTTKN and RETRIEVE.
Authority Property
The authority assigned to the user for this server/function. If authority is left blank, Network Security will remove the user's entry.
Possible values are:
Switch profile is allowed only when Authority contains *SWITCH or *MEMSWITCH, if *MEMSWITCH is allowed. Otherwise it must contain *NONE.
Aud
The Audit transactions flag controls the logging of transactions to the Log Journal set up on the Work with Network Security System Values panel.
The valid values are:
Msg
The Send messages flag controls the sending of messages to the Log Message Queue set up on the Work with Network Security System Values panel.
The valid values are:
