User Maintenance Screen—USER

Description

The User Maintenance screen allows the ASF administrator to add a user to the catalog or delete a user from the catalog. Users must be entered in the catalog in order to be assigned limits and defaults or to be given administrative authority.

Users are automatically entered in the catalog when they sign on to ASF for the first time. The User Maintenance screen allows the ASF administrator to assign limits and defaults to the user before the user accesses ASF for the first time.

To add a user to the catalog, the user must be defined in the data dictionary. When added, the user will automatically be given access to ASF in the data dictionary if access to ASF was not previously defined.

The ASF administrator can delete users from the catalog to revoke their access to ASF. To delete a user, the user's directory must be empty (the user cannot own any tables). The user's dictionary definition is automatically modified; the ACCESS TO ASF clause is deleted.

Access

If you have administrative authority, you can access the User Maintenance screen in one of the following ways:

• Select the User Maintenance function from the Administrator Control screen; you can select the function by pressing [PF7].
• Enter USER in the screen name field of any screen.
