Customize

A list of tasks that can be performed is shown below.

Preferences

Preferences are used by iSeries Access for Web to control how functions operate. For example, users can select which columns to display when viewing a printer output list. By default, all users can configure their own preferences, but by using a policy, an administrator can take away this ability. Preferences are saved and associated with the user's iSeries user profile. See the Preferences online help text for more information about this function.

Policies

Policies are used to control user and group access to iSeries Access for Web functionality. For example, the Files access policy can be set to Deny to restrict a user or group from accessing the file function. Policies are saved and associated with the appropriate iSeries user or group profile. See the Policies online help text for more information about this function.

Settings

Settings are used for product configuration. For example, the Sametime^® community server used for sending Sametime announcements can be set. Settings are saved and associated with the current instance of iSeries Access for Web. They are not associated with an iSeries user or group profile.

Transfer configuration

Transfer configuration is used to copy or move configuration data from one user or group profile to another profile. Configuration data include 5250 session and macro definitions, saved commands, database requests, folder items, and policy settings.

Considerations

The Policies, Settings, and Transfer configuration functions can only be accessed by iSeries Access for Web administrators. An iSeries Access for Web administrator is an iSeries user profile with *SECADM special authority or with iSeries Access for Web administrator privileges. A user profile can be granted administrator privileges using the customize function and setting the Grant administrator privileges policy to Allow.

Restrictions

None.
