Permissions
After you bind the QMF for Windows packages,
you must grant permission to users to execute the packages. Use
the Permissions page of the Packages wizard to grant or revoke permission
to the user IDs of QMF for Windows and QMF for WebSphere users,
specifying what packages they can run on the database server. You
can grant or revoke permission to all user IDs, or to specific IDs.
Note:
The Permissions procedure grants the authority required
to execute the packages contained within a collection. QMF for Windows
creates the collection containing these packages on the iSeries
with authority PUBLIC * EXCLUDE. Grant the appropriate authority
for users of that collection and library on the iSeries.
Fields
User IDs
Type the user IDs of the users who will be granted permission
to run QMF for Windows on the database server. Alternatively, type
the user IDs for whom permission to run QMF for Windows on this
database will be revoked.
To grant or revoke permission for all users, select the default
ID PUBLIC. QMF for Windows stores valid user IDs for the database server
in the User ID table.
Procedure
- Type the user IDs for which you are granting authority to the
packages.
- Click Grant to give the user IDs permission
at the server.
The following message is issued after permission is granted:
Permission to execute the user packages has been granted to the
specified user IDs.
- Optional: Type the user ID and click Revoke to
prohibit the user IDs from running queries at the database server.
- Click Finish.
- Optional: The Check Table Authorizations
page opens next if you selected the following option at the Object
Listing Option page:
Include only those objects that any of the user's primary or secondary
authorization IDs are authorized to access. This option requires the
most database resources when producing lists.
