|
<div><p>Group profiles define authority for a group of users.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">You can use a group profile to perform the following tasks: <ul><li>Define authority for a group of users, rather than giving authority to
|
||
|
|
each user individually.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Own objects on the system. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Use a group profile as a pattern when creating individual user profiles
|
||
|
|
by using the copy profile function.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>A group profile is a special type of user profile and can own objects on
|
||
|
|
the system. Typically, you create a group profile for a set of users with
|
||
|
|
similar system access and usage needs. For example, you might create a group
|
||
|
|
profile for a set of users who need to use the same applications in the same
|
||
|
|
way. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can also use a group profile as a pattern when you create individual
|
||
|
|
user profiles, either by using the copy-profile function or by using the security
|
||
|
|
policies menu to edit user authorities in iSeries™ Navigator.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">A group profile servers two purposes on the system:<ul><li><strong>Security tool</strong>: A group profile provides a simple way to organize
|
||
|
|
who can use certain objects on your system (object authorities). You can define
|
||
|
|
object authorities for an entire group rather than for each individual member
|
||
|
|
of the group.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>Customization tool</strong>: You can use a group profile as a pattern for
|
||
|
|
creating individual user profiles. Most people who are part of the same group
|
||
|
|
have the same customizing needs, such as the initial menu and the default
|
||
|
|
printer. You can define these in the group profile and copy them to the individual
|
||
|
|
user profiles.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use group profiles to make it easier to maintain a simple, consistent
|
||
|
|
scheme for both security and customization.</p>
|
||
|
|
