User IDs

CA‑PanAPT allows the definition of individual user IDs and their capabilities. All System Administrators can perform this definition, but you can also authorize other personnel to perform user ID definitions.

Users fall into two broad categories: normal users and defined users. Normal users are defined to CA‑PanAPT through the default user ID. Defined users are defined individually to CA‑PanAPT.

The default user ID is defined to CA‑PanAPT as *DEFAULT. Any CA‑PanAPT user who is not specifically defined can only perform the activities allowed by the default user ID. Consequently, the default user ID determines the permissible activities for the normal user. If desired, you can set the *DEFAULT User ID so that users not specifically defined to CA‑PanAPT cannot access any CA‑PanAPT functions.

Defined users are explicitly added to the system through the Control File maintenance and are allowed to perform their own set of activities.
