User Profile administration


Use the Administration option on the product or solution main menu to access User Profiles.

See the Administration-menu for an example.

The menu displays the Administration option only if you have administration authority. When you select the Administration option, the  User Profile Administration panel is displayed.

The following panel provides access to existing User Profiles and is the starting point for creating new User Profiles.

 The User Profile Administration panel displays a list of all User Profiles in alphabetical order. If more profiles are listed than can be displayed on the panel, use the scrolling keys (F7 and F8) to browse the list. Use the LOCATE command to search for a specific string of characters.

When you specify a new profile, or choose to view or modify an existing profile, the User Profile Data Menu is displayed.

 The name and description of the User Profile are displayed at the top of the panel. If it is a new profile, the description is DEFAULT PROFILE until you specify a new description.

This menu contains the following options:

  • Authorization sets values for the following access:
    • Data Collector access
    • Db2 access
    • Product access
  • Session Control sets the parameters that control access to product functions and to limit resource use.

As the administrator, you can allow or prevent users to change most of the parameters on the Session Control panel.

  • Session Options sets characteristics for the user’s session (for example, placement of the Command line and display of the panel ID).
  • Presentation Options sets the parameters that control the presentation of data on the user’s screen (for example, uppercase or mixed-case characters, date style, and decimal style).
  • Function Keys sets function key defaults.

Users of all products and solutions except BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2
—Data Collector can change the values in Session Options, Presentation Options, and Function Keys at any time by using User Options. The administrator cannot prevent users from changing these values.

Important

OnlyBMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2
—Data Collector administrators have access to User Profiles. BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2
—Data Collector users do not have access to User Options.

Changes to the User Profile take effect the next time that the user accesses the product after the changes are processed. The product saves the values in the User Profile across product sessions.
