<h1 class="topictitle1">User profiles</h1>
<div><p>The user profile contains most of the authorizations and preferences
for individual users or groups. With iSeries™ Navigator, you can create and
manage users and groups across the server.</p>
<p>User profiles contain the information the iSeries server requires to allow users
to sign on to a system, to access their own customized session, including
their own message and output queue, and to access functions and objects to
which they have been granted authority.</p>
<p>A user profile includes:</p>
<ul><li>A system user profile name</li>
<li>The user's privileges and limitations</li>
<li>A list of objects the user owns or is authorized to use</li>
<li>A reference to a message queue</li>
<li>A reference to an output queue</li>
<li>Information about which groups the user is a member of (up to 16)</li>
<li>Information about the user's last sign on</li>
<li>Job attributes, such as description and priority, the initial program
to call, and the initial library list</li>
<li>National language settings</li>
<li>Other attributes, such as the user id (UID), group ID (GID), and home
directory</li>
</ul>
<p>User profiles may be included in group profiles. In this way, all group
members share attributes, share access to specific objects, and share ownership
of objects. Group profiles can simplify many user administration tasks by
allowing you to apply a single change to many users.</p>
<p>iSeries Navigator's
user administration function provides convenient ways to manage users and
groups across the iSeries server. For specific security recommendations
on creating profiles, see Planning user profiles and Planning user groups.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Work with user profiles</h4><p>Use iSeries Navigator to create and manage
user profiles and groups if your own user profile has the required authority.
Expand <span class="uicontrol">Users and groups</span> to create and manage user profiles.
Additionally, you can use this function to perform some common actions on
a selected user, such as sending a message, and working with that user's
jobs and objects.</p>
