User-related procedures (OP)

The User Management module contains the procedures that you must use to authorize employees to use LN.

With these procedures, you can:

  • Create LN users.
  • Create remote user accounts for the LN users in a client/server environment.
  • Change the package combinations for LN users
  • Maintain the user’s developer authorizations.
Procedure result and prerequisites
Result

As a result of these procedures, the user can start LN, use the Menu Browser, and start sessions. The user can also use LN in a client/server environment. Developers will have the proper development authorizations. The LN user also has permissions on a database level that can be restricted with LN ’s Authorization Management System (AMS).

Prerequisites
  • The user must have a system account for the operating system on which LN is installed, such as UNIX or Windows. If the user does not have a user account on the operating system, refer to the appropriate Installation Manual for your specific operating system.
  • On a DB2 installation, you must also add the user to the LN db group with the Windows User manager.
  • If the licensing of LN is based on named users, the LN user accounts that are created by means of User Management must correspond with the user names in the named user list in the Infor Solution License Manager (SLM).
  • To create remote user accounts for LN users, the LN user must have a user account on the local system or workstation.
  • The roles and templates to which you can link the normal users are already defined. If these components are not defined, refer to the To create roles and authorizations (OP-CE) and To create templates (OP-CE) sections.
  • The development-environment data for the developers must be defined.

This section describes only the most important steps in the procedures. For detailed instructions on how to enter data in the described sessions, see the online help of the sessions.
