Types of Logical Views

The following table defines the types of logical views:

Public

Applies to only one report or SYSOUT ID:

• Unrestricted access—view is accessible to all users
• Restricted access—view is accessible to specified users

Private

Applies to only one report or SYSOUT ID:

• User creates a personal view
• One user cannot access another user's private view

Users can create a private view for their own use if the user is defined to the system as a nonrestricted user. Nonrestricted means that the user has access to the native view (the view that is not secured). Private views can only be created from the native view of a report.

Global

Applies across many reports; based on a generic report or SYSOUT ID specification.

When the user creates a global view, the user specifies a generic report ID in the definition using a trailing asterisk (for example, PAY*) to determine which reports are included in the view.

Only users with master authority specified by the DEF USER statement can create global logical views.
