Saved Dynamic Users

Saved dynamic users have the following features:

• Like dynamic users, the profiles specified in the signon exit (and optionally determined through interaction with external security) determine their session options.
• Unlike dynamic users, their user options are saved in the ADMIN2 database and can be modified by a user administrator or through self-maintenance.
• When profiles for a user for which CA TPX maintains user customization are no longer authorized by the signon exit or external security, those customizations are deleted at signon time. User IDs must be deleted manually.

Allowing saved dynamic users at your site gives you the convenience of dynamic users with the additional benefit of being able to administer them.

To allow saved dynamic users at your site, set the Save Dynamic Users option to Y in the System Options Table (SMRT). With this option turned on, all users who sign on dynamically become saved dynamic users.

The Static User field in the User Options panel can be set by a user administrator to change a saved dynamic user into a static user (or conversely). If a saved dynamic user becomes a static user, the profiles that were assigned when the user signed on are recorded in the user record and will be the profiles of the user every time the user signs on. The profiles of the user are no longer determined by the signon exit.
