AOP.ADMINISTRATOR profile

The AOP.ADMINISTRATOR resource profile in the RACF® PRINTSRV class is a required profile. It restricts access to objects in the Printer Inventory:
  • READ or UPDATE access lets users view the Printer Inventory by using ISPF panels, Infoprint Central, or the Printer Inventory Definition Utility (PIDU). Users do not need any access to the profile to simply to list names of printer definitions with the lpstat command or with Infoprint Port Monitor.
  • UPDATE access lets users update all objects except for the system configuration definition in the Printer Inventory by using ISPF panels or the PIDU program.

    If the AOP.CONFIGURATION resource profile is not defined in the PRINTSRV class, UPDATE access to the AOP.ADMINISTRATOR profile lets users update the system configuration definition.

Tips:
  1. If the AOP.ADMINISTRATOR profile does not exist in the PRINTSRV class, Infoprint Server checks the AOPADMIN profile in the FACILILTY class. READ or higher access to the AOPADMIN profile is equivalent to UPDATE access to the AOP.ADMINISTRATOR profile.
  2. RACF profiles with the prefix AOP in the PRINTSRV class are reserved by IBM®. Do not create profiles for other purposes that start with AOP in the PRINTSRV class.
