Note: While this command is searching for user profile information to display,
another job cannot change user profiles (for example, with the Change User
Profile (CHGUSRPRF) command).
Restriction: The list of system users contains only the names of the user profiles
to which the user of this command has at least read (*READ) authority.
User Profiles
User Profiles
A user profile is an object that identifies a particular user or a group of user to
the AS/400 system. The user is known in the system by user profile name. When
a workstation signs on, the user id is used to find the user profile setting. The
password is defined in the user profile. All AS/400 system security functions rely
on the user profile to describe each user. The user profile identifies the
authorities to that user.
User Profiles contain information describing a system user, that user's privileges
and limitations when using the system, and lists of objects the user owns or is
authorized to use. For objects owned by a user, the profile also contains lists of
other users' authorizations to those objects.
Group Profiles
A group profile is used to provide the same profile for a group of users. This
eliminates the need to assign the authority to each user individually.
A User Profile may be linked to a group profile. This allows all the members of
the group to share common attributes, common access to selected objects, and
common ownership of objects.
A group profile is implemented as a user profile; that is, it is created just like a
user profile, and when granting authority, the AS/400 does not treat groups any
differently than user profiles. The two uses may be intermixed. For easy
management it is better that user and group profiles be used as separate
entities. One way to enforce this is to set the group profile password to *NONE.
This prevents any sign on to the profile.
The create User Profile (CRTUSRPRF) command identifies a user to the system
and allows you to customize the way the system appears.
The Delete User Profile (DLTUSRPRF) command allows a user to delete a user
profile from the system. The User Profile cannot be deleted if a user is currently
running under the profile
The Change User Profile (CHGUSRPRF) command changes the values specified in
a user profile. The password validation rules are not verified by the system
when a password is changed by this command.
The Work with User Profiles (WRKUSRPRF) display shows you a list of user
profiles that you have authority to use. Only someone with either system
security officer or security administrator authority can set up these user profiles
which determine what system displays and functions each person is authorized
to use. If you do not have proper authority, only your user profile will be
displayed.
You can do the following with WRKUSRPRF command
1. Create a user profile
2. Change a user profile
3. Copy a user profile
4. Delete a user profile
5. Display a user profile
Note: You must have one or more special authorities (such as *SECADM) to
perform above operations.
