Profiles assign common user options and application options to a group of users. The Profile Maintenance option on the TPX User/Group Administration Menu allows you to add, modify, and delete profiles. You can also add sessions to a profile so that those sessions will appear on the TPX or STX Menu for each user assigned to that profile. By defining characteristics in a profile that is assigned to a group of users, you can reduce the amount of time required to define and maintain users. For example, when you change the TPX menu key in a profile definition, you change the menu key for all of the users assigned to the profile unless they have defined their own menu keys in user self-maintenance.
Depending on your authorization, you can change TPX parameters, STX parameters, or both.
The values that you assign in a profile override the system default values assigned by the system administrator in the system options tables (the SMRT for CA TPX options). Also, if you allow users to change their own override values and the users have made changes, the user values override the profile values. Therefore, you may want to limit what values users can modify in self-maintenance. The chapter Maintaining Command and Self‑Maintenance Class Tables shows you how to impose these restrictions. See the section How to Maintain Self-Maintenance Update Classes.
This chapter contains procedures for adding, modifying, and deleting profiles.
