Add the Initial Administrator User ID

The only functions that the INSTALL user ID can perform are those associated with user ID maintenance. Therefore, you must add an initial administrator user ID.

Note: If you are using a full security exit, user authorities are not specified through UAMS. You must specify these authorities as structured fields in your security exit. For more information, see the Security Guide.

To define an initial user with full authority to UAMS

1. At the UAMS : Primary Menu, type the initial administrator user ID in the User field, USER in the Definition Type field, and select the A – Add User Definition option.

   The UAMS : User Details panel appears.

2. Type the initial password and user details for this initial user ID.

   Important! The user must change the password again at first logon.

3. Go to the UAMS definition panels and ensure that you give full authority to this initial user to perform future administration tasks. Set the following minimum values:
   • User Authorities panel, page 2

     Authority Level: 255

     APPC Access Key: ALL

     APPC Access Lock: ALL

   • Access Authorities panel, page 3

     Set fields that correspond to the features your site has configured to Y or the maximum authority.

     Console Authority: M

   • Print Services Manager Details panel, page 12

     For all fields, set the maximum authority (1 through 4).
