Working with Privileges › Modify a Privilege

Modify a Privilege

As your requirements change, it may be necessary to modify certain aspects of a privilege. Use the following procedure to modify and update a privilege.

To modify a privilege, do the following from the CA Repository

1. Choose VIEW, DIALOG. This gives you access the EXTEND dialog.
2. Choose VIEW, TYPE. This gives you access the PRIV entity type.
3. Choose VIEW, LIST, ENTITY, then select the PRIV instance you would like to modify.

   Note: If the PRIV instance is no longer in the Extend model, you can import it from the control tables. For more information, see Extract Altered Privilege Data.

4. If you need to change the PRIV instance itself, make the appropriate changes and choose EDIT, UPDATE. This commits the modifications.
5. If you need to change which commands the privilege can access:
   1. Choose EDIT, GOTO to select the PRIV CMD association type. CA Repository automatically displays all associations that use the PRIV instance, up to the maximum number that it can display at one time.
   2. Insert or delete PRIV CMD associations as necessary to link the privilege to the appropriate commands, then choose EDIT, GOTO to redisplay the PRIV entity type and reselect the PRIV instance.
6. If you need to change which dialogs, entity types, statuses, and workstations the privilege can access, repeat Step 5 for any DLG PRIV, PRIV STS, PRIV ENT, or WORKPRIV associations.
7. Choose SYSTEM, EXTEND, BUILD to rebuild the PRIV entity. This command replaces the privilege and all its associated objects in the control tables with the modified versions.
