User Group Miscellaneous Fields

The User Group Miscellaneous fields display information about the user group.

This display has the following fields:

Description

Provides a general description of the group. You can update this field.

Interfaces

Specifies the interfaces the security group can use to access CA SYSVIEW. The valid interfaces are:

Default Profile

Specifies the default profile member to use for members in this group. Typically, the DEFAULT profile member is used for users without a profile.

Note: For information about creating profiles for other users, see the PROFILE command online help or Changing Profiles in the chapter “Defining Security” in this guide.

Timeout Value

Specifies the amount of time a CICS or VTAM session can be idle before CA SYSVIEW terminates the session. The value is in minutes. A value of 0 (zero) specifies there is no time limit.

For example, suppose the timeout value is 5. If a user in this group logs on and does not enter any input for 5 minutes, CA SYSVIEW terminates the session.

The DEAULT profile is distributed with a timeout value of 240 minutes.

Update Minimum

Specifies the minimum value a user in the group can specify as the update interval on the UPDATE command. Values can be from 2 to 9999 seconds.

Update Duration

Specifies the maximum amount of time specified in minutes that a user in the group could stay in update mode. Values can be from 0 to 9999 minutes. Values of 0 and 9999 mean that a user can stay in update mode indefinitely. Use this field to set an update mode limit on users.

Display Unauthorized Jobs

Controls whether unauthorized jobs are included in the list of jobs for a display. Enter YES to include unauthorized jobs or NO to exclude them. When you specify YES, security checks made when building a display for a command are bypassed. Using the SAF security exit can significantly reduce the amount of processing required to build the display. If one of the unauthorized jobs is selected from a display, a security check is made, and access is denied.

Display Unauthorized Help

Controls whether online help information for unauthorized commands can be displayed. Valid values are YES and NO. YES displays unauthorized online help and NO does not display the online help information.

Debug Userid

Used for debugging. When the user ID for a member in this group is entered in this field, tracing information is written to a SYSOUT file within the address space that invoked CA SYSVIEW. For job name and resource validation calls, the information shows which rule failed an access attempt. Only failed access attempts are traced. Remember to clear this field after debugging the problem.
