Infor Lawson System Foundation Default Environment / OS Identity: Overview

A default privileged identity is delivered with Infor Lawson System Foundation that you can use to automatically link Lawson users to an operating system (OS) user. Any user who does not need a unique OS ID can be automatically linked to a privileged identity. This means that you do not need to create Environment/OS service identities for some users.

The following types of users still need unique OS IDs and must have identities on the Environment/OS service:

• Users who run batch jobs

• Users who need command line access

• Users who require unique HR data item security (assuming that feature has been enabled). This is because these users are required to share a default OS identity and to have the same HR data item security level.

Users who run only online programs through Lawson Portal (and do not require unique HR data item security) can make use of the default Environment / OS identity.
