Application Administration concepts

Before you begin working with Application Administration, you should become familiar with some concepts.

• Application registration
  Before you can administer applications, they must be registered through Application Administration.
• iSeries Navigator plug-ins and Application Administration
  If you have additional plug-ins that you want administered through Application Administration, you must register them.
• Access settings for a function
  Each administrable function that your server supports has several associated access settings. The access settings determine whether a user is denied or allowed access to the function.
• Administration system
  The administration system is a central server that is used to manage many of the properties used by iSeries™ Access for Windows^® clients.
• Central Settings
  Advanced settings are a part of the Central Settings in Application Administration and can only be administered from an administration system.
• Management Central and Application Administration
  You can also access Application Administration through Management Central.
• When changes take effect
  When a change to the Local or Central Settings takes effect on the client depends on what type of change you make.
• Application Administration as a security tool
  Do not use Application Administration as a security tool.
