User Rule Derivation

How to Get There

On the Work with Security by User panel, choose 5 for a User Rule.

What it Does

The Powertech User Rule Detail Derivation panel displays the hierarchical inheritance of the current User rule.

Options

Server

The server to which the current rule applies.

Function

The name of the IBM server function to which the current rule applies.

Type

This field is used to indicate whether the associated User field refers to an O/S user profile or a Exit Point Manager User Group.

Valid values are:

U The associated User field refers to an O/S user profile.

G The associated User field refers to a Exit Point Manager user group.

Level

The Level column indicates from which inheritance level the specific values listed are derived. The last entry in the Rule Derivation section is the level from which the Location Rule Display was requested. For example, if this display were requested from "Work with Authorities by User", the last level would represent a user and as such might be a user profile name or *PUBLIC.

Valid values are:

System The system values level.

Server The server level.

Function The server function level.

*PUBLIC The user level for all users.

*ALL The location level for all locations.

Authority

The authority assigned to the user for this rule.

Switch

The name of a switch profile for this rule. If a profile name is supplied, processing is swapped to run under this profile's authority. This is only valid for authorities *SWITCH and *MEMSWITCH.

Audit The audit property controls the type of requests Exit Point Manager will log.

Possible values are:

Y Log all requests by the user/server/function.

N Only log authority failures for the user/server/function.

* Use the audit value from the prior level.

Msg

The message property entry will determine if Exit Point Manager sends a message to the specified message queue for the user/server/function. Possible values are:

N No message is sent.

Y A message is sent to the specified queue.

* Use the audit value from the prior level.

Cap

Capture transactions for Memorized Transaction Request (MTR).

Possible values are:

N Do not capture transactions.

Y Capture transactions.

* Use the audit value from the prior level.
