Enhanced Object Security › Define the VIDMSR17 attribute in USER or SYSTEM PROFILE › Usage

Usage

The dictionary from which the CA IDMS Visual DBA module is retrieved can be any dictionary with a DDLDML area. The dictionary can, but does not need to have the CA IDMS Visual DBA components installed. The dictionary does not need to be defined as a CA IDMS Visual DBA accessible dictionary.

A user who is using the CA IDMS Visual DBA profile defined in the specified module must have IDD DISPLAY access for that module. To prevent a user from modifying his CA IDMS Visual DBA profile he must not have any type of update access to the specified module.

The VIDMSR17 attribute can be created either in user or system profiles. The option to use one or the other depends on your current use of profiles. If you are already using user profiles, it seems natural to simply add the VIDMSR17 attribute to the different profiles specifying the location and name of the IDD module with the CA IDMS Visual DBA profile as appropriate for the user profile.

If user profiles are not yet used, either user profiles can be created that correspond to the CA IDMS Visual DBA profiles or system profiles can be updated to include the VIDMSR17 attribute.

Note: For more information about defining user profiles and attributes and associating users with profiles, see the CA IDMS Security Administration Guide. For more information about defining system profiles and attributes, see the CA IDMS System Tasks and Operator Commands Guide.
