U – User Table

The user table shows which users are using Code Pipeline and stores contact information for the email interface. It allows administrators and users to update user details and to delete Users no longer needing to use Code Pipeline.

User Definition Screen

The following figure shows a list of Users. It is the first screen displayed after entering option U.

General Notes

The user table does not store user authorizations. The security function is performed through defining SAF resources. See Security for details.

The State column for each user can contain C (current) or H (historical). The column can also contain an X (excluded) when the limit of Code Pipeline users has been exceeded. A user ID may be changed to a status of H when it is no longer being used. This retains all the historical information about the user, but removes them from the current user count for license compliance. If a user is marked H or X, logon to Code Pipeline will be denied. If a Historical user needs to use Code Pipeline, their State must be set back to C before they can logon.

Important

Changing users from Current to Historical does not reduce the count of Current users until CM is restarted. If you have exceeded your user limit and change some users to Historical, you must restart CM before new users—or existing users unable to access Code Pipeline because the user limit has been exceeded—will be able to use Code Pipeline.

Users can update their own details, and Code Pipeline administrators can update any user’s details.

Defining New Users

If a user doesn’t have a user definition, when they use Code Pipeline, a blank user entry is automatically added and a welcome screen displayed, rather than preventing the user from starting Code Pipeline (unless they are unauthorized).

To avoid the welcome screen being displayed, add a user definition before the user first starts Code Pipeline.

Welcome Screen

The first time a user starts Code Pipeline, a welcome screen is displayed. The user can then add their own details or choose to leave them blank. If the details aren’t filled in, the welcome screen will be displayed the next time the user starts Code Pipeline.

The following figure shows the welcome screen.
