IZ39826: VIEW ONLY PERMISSIONS FOR USERS DISPLAYS BLANK USER ADMIN DLG

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Environment:
  Windows at ITM 6.1 (no fixpacks) was upgraded to ITM 6.2 FP01.
  Problem:
  Users unable to view their own security details.  In ITM 6.2 FP1
  if I open Administer Users, select a user, select the "User
  Administration" authority item, and then give the user "View"
  permission but NOT "Modify", the user is not able to select and
  view their own permissions.  They don't see even their own
  userid under the list of users.  This used to work in ITM 6.1.
  Detailed Recreation Procedure:
   1)  Logon to teps with sysadmin
  
   2)  Go into administer users
  
   3)  Select any user
  
   4)  Go down to User Administration authority item and for the
  permission give "view", but not "modify".
  
   5)  Logoff with sysadmin and then logon with the userid that
  was changed.
  
  6)  Go to Administer Users and the result will be a blank screen
  for the Users as well as the Permission, Applications, Navigator
  Views, Member of tabs.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• A user having 'User Administration View' but not 'User
  Administration Modify' permission cannot view any user
  information, not even their own.
  
  
  On Windows, users created with lowercase names in the User
  Administration dialog could never view their own user
  information unless granted 'User Administration Modify'
  permission.
  

Problem conclusion

• The logic was changed to use a case-insensitive unique user id
  when filtering the list of users being viewed by a user having
  only 'User Administration View' permission.  This restored the
  correct behavior of allowing such a user to view their own
  definition.  This method also worked correctly for
  case-sensitive systems like Linux.
  
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
  packages:
  
     | fix pack | 6.2.0-TIV-ITM-FP0003
