Users and Groups that Must be Defined in the Database

CA ControlMinder needs some users and groups to be defined in its database, rather than in the enterprise user stores. These include:

• Predefined users
• Predefined groups
• A CA ControlMinder administrator
• Profile groups A profile group is a group defined in the CA ControlMinder database that contains default values for user properties. When you assign a user to a profile group, the profile group provides those values to the user unless they have already been set for the user.
• Logical users A logical user is a user with the LOGICAL attribute applied to their record, or a surrogate who runs a trusted program (SPECIALPGM resource). A logical user cannot log in and is used for internal CA ControlMinder purposes only.
