Creating and managing user group profiles

This topic describes how to create and manage Web User Interface (WUI) user group profiles.

User group profiles are created and managed using a new WUI editing facility called the user editor.

The hyperlink that launches the user editor appears in the navigation frame along with the view editor hyperlinks. A signed on user can see a user editor hyperlink only if he or she has at least update access to a the new ESM facility profile EYUWUI.wui_server_applid.USER. Clicking on this hyperlink launches a new browser window that uses a set of new views created for the user editor.

When you launch the user editor you can choose to edit user groups or users. The diagram in Figure 1 illustrates the relationships between the screens in the user group section of the user editor.

    1. Click User Editor in the navigation frame to open a new CICSPlex® SM Web User Interface User editor window.
    2. Click User Groups to open the User Group Editor screen. This screen gives you options to create, edit or delete a profile.
    3. Click Create to open the Create New User Group screen.
  2. Name the new group profile:
    1. Type in the name of the new group. (This will need to match a user group name defined in the ESM.) Names are restricted to a maximum of eight characters. As in the ESM, the allowed characters are A-Z (upper case) 0-9, #, $ and @
    2. Click OK. This confirms the operation and opens the Edit User Group Profile screen.
  3. Type in the user group details. See User group profiles for a description of this information.
  4. Click Save to create the new profile or Abandon to cancel the operation.

To edit a group, click on Edit in the User Group Editor screen to open the Edit User Group screen and select an existing group. This opens an Edit User Group Profile screen containing details of the selected group. Make your changes and click Save to update the profile or Abandon to cancel the operation.

To delete a group, click on Delete in the User Group Editor screen to open the Delete User Group screen and select an existing group. Click OK to open the Confirm User Group Delete screen and OK again to confirm the operation.
