Displaying user profiles

Several methods are available to display the profiles that you created.

Displaying one profile
Use option 5 (Display) from either the Work with User Enrollment display or the Work with User Profiles display.
Listing one profile
Use the Display User Profile command: DSPUSRPRF profile-name DETAIL(*BASIC) OUTPUT(*PRINT).
Displaying group members
Type DSPUSRPRF group-profile-name *GRPMBR. You can use OUTPUT(*PRINT) to print the list.
Listing all profiles
To list the names and descriptions of all profiles, sorted by group, use the Display Authorized Users command: DSPAUTUSR SEQ(*GRPPRF) OUTPUT(*PRINT).
Before you set up ownership and public authority, complete these tasks:
  • Finish creating all your individual user profiles.
  • Set the password to expire for each profile.
  • Print a list of all profiles sorted by group and keep it with your User Group Description forms. Print the list again when you add new users.
