This topic describes how to change a user profile, and provides
step-by-step instructions.
When a system user gets a new job or a new set of responsibilities in your
company, you need to evaluate how that affects the user profile.
- Should the user belong to a different user group? You can use the CHGUSRPRF
command to change the user profile.
- Do you need to change any customizing values in the profile, such as the
printer or the initial menu? You can use the CHGUSRPRF command to change these
also.
- Are the application authorities of the new user group sufficient for this
person?
- Use the Display User Profile (DSPUSRPRF) command to look at the authorities
for the old and new group profiles.
- Also look at the authorities of the individual user profile.
- Make any changes necessary by using the EDTOBJAUT command.
- Does the user own any objects? Should you change ownership of those objects?
Use the Work with Objects by Owner (WRKOBJOWN) command.
- Does the user perform system functions? Does the user need to perform
system functions for the new job? Update the System Responsibilities worksheet
and change the user profile, if necessary.
Changing User Profiles
You can change a user profile using option 2 (Change)
from either the Work with User Profiles display or the Work with User Enrollment
display. You can also use the Change User Profile (CHGUSRPRF) command.
Users who are allowed to enter commands can change some parameters of their
own profiles using the Change Profile (CHGPRF) command.
A user cannot change a user profile to have more special authorities or
capabilities than the user who changes the profile.
