General

This topic describes the "General" panel that is part of the User property sheet if the management directory is not protected by RACF. Click here for a description of the "General" panel for a RACF-protected management directory.

Use this panel to view and change the general information and the password of a user.

Before you begin:

Only user administrators can change the information on the "General" panel for any user.

Other users can only make changes if they are displaying their own user property sheet.

The user ID is read-only. User IDs cannot be changed for existing users.

Steps for viewing and changing information on the "General" panel:

  1. Open the property sheet for the user who's information you want to view or change (see Viewing and changing user information)
  2. If it is not already displayed, click the General tab to display the "General" panel.
  3. Make changes in the User information section as required.
  4. If you want to change the password, click Change password...
  5. Follow the instructions on the panel that appears and click OK to return to the "General" panel.
  6. When you are done, use the tabs to navigate among the property sheet panels or click OK to close the property sheet and save all changes.
