User Management

LN User Management manages the user’s profile for end user and developer specific configurations.

You can create LN users and authorize these users to use LN. You can define the authorizations for LN in roles and templates that are linked to the LN users. The role and template concept provides you with a user-friendly method to quickly add new users or update user authorizations.

  • LN user
    To work with the LN application, a user must have an operating system user account and password, a database user account and password, an LN user account, and the proper LN authorizations. The authorizations are dependent on the user's role in the organization.
  • Database user
    An LN user must connect to a database to use information from it. The LN user can only access a database with the proper authorizations and rights. To give an LN user these rights, you must link the LN user to a database user.
  • Link between the LN user and the database user
    An LN user can only use the information in a database if the LN user is linked to a database user. You can link an LN user to a database user in the LN RDBMS Administration.
  • Authorizations
    For normal users, authorizations are defined for the use of sessions, databases, and libraries. These authorizations are defined in roles that you can link to the user profiles. In addition, you can define authorizations that are not dependent on a role, such as development parameters and device preferences. These authorizations are defined in templates that you can link to the user profiles. Super users do not have any restrictions and therefore are not linked to roles.
