How to Authorize a User

Authorizing a CA PanAPT user to perform CA PanAPT functions is a two-step process.

1. Indicate what classification of CA PanAPT users can perform a function.
2. Place the CA PanAPT user into the appropriate classification.

If a user ID is not added to CA PanAPT, a user ID of *DEFAULT is used when performing authorization tests. *DEFAULT can be granted authorization as if it were a real user ID.

Many ways exist to authorize users for specific functions.

Note: As delivered, CA PanAPT gives the *DEFAULT user authority to any user who signs on. As delivered, *DEFAULT has CA PanAPT System Administrator authority. After you have added one or more user IDs with Administrator authority, remove Administrator authorization from *DEFAULT using Control File Maintenance panels as described in the "Control File" chapter in the CA PanAPT Reference Guide.
