Defining and Maintaining CA Ideal Users › Creating and Maintaining User Definitions

Creating and Maintaining User Definitions

You can define each user individually to CA Ideal or you can define one or more user groups with access to common systems and appropriate authorizations in those systems. This section explains how to create and maintain the user definitions.

You can define and maintain user definitions either directly through the commands described in this section or by selecting options from the User Maintenance Menu. To display the User Maintenance Menu, select option 1 on the Administration Maintenance Menu or enter the CA Ideal command USER.

IDEAL: USER MAINTENANCE      USR                         SYS: DOC      MENU

 Enter desired option number ===>      There are 7 options in this menu:

 1. EDIT/DISPLAY         - Edit or display a user definition
 2. CREATE               - Create a user definition
 3. PRINT                - Print a user definition
 4. DELETE               - Delete a user definition
 5. MARK STATUS          - Mark user status to production or history
 6. DUPLICATE            - Duplicate user definition to next version
 7. DISPLAY INDEX        - Display index of user definitions

Some of the options on the User Maintenance Menu display fill-in panels for data entry.

When a fill-in is complete, press Enter or a PF key to apply the modified data. Pressing the Enter key applies the data, but leaves the current fill-in displayed. To continue, enter the appropriate command or press the appropriate PF key. Pressing the Clear key returns the session to the CA Ideal Main Menu without applying the modified data. Pressing a PA key also ignores modified data. The PA1 key issues a RESHOW. The PA2 key displays current PF/PA key assignments.

For prompter panels, pressing Enter processes the command completed on the prompter.
