If you link a service tools user ID to a user profile,
you can have the privileges of the service tools user ID while using an IBM® i interface that requires those
privileges.
You must have service (*SERVICE) special authority
to use some APIs. To have the authority to call the advanced analysis commands,
the current user profile must be linked to a service tools user ID that has
the proper privileges.
To link a service tools user ID to user profiles,
follow these steps:
- Access service tools using DST.
- From the DST Sign-On display, enter the QSECOFR
service tools user ID and password.
- Select option 5 (Work with DST environment) when the Use Dedicated
Service Tools (DST) main menu is shown and press Enter. The Work with DST
Environment display is shown.
- From the Work with DST Environment display, select option 3 (Service
tools user IDs) and press Enter.
- From the Work with Service Tools User IDs display,
type 9 (Link) on the line associated with the user your want to work with
and press Enter. The Link Service Tools User ID display is shown.
Notes: - If you choose option 9 for the QSECOFR service tools user
ID, a message is shown at the bottom of the display: This Service Tools
User ID cannot change the linked User Profile. The QSECOFR
service tools user ID is always linked to the QSECOFR user profile. Users
are not able to remove this link or link any other user profile to the QSECOFR
service tools user ID.
- Only one user profile is allowed to link to a service tools user ID and
only one service tools user ID is allowed to link to a user profile. When
a group profile is linked to a service tools user ID, then every member of
that group profile can use the privileges of the service tools user ID.
- Enter information about the tools user ID and the user profile
it links to:
- Service tools user ID: The name of the service
tools user linked from.
- User profile: The user profile to link to from
the service tools user ID.
- Press Enter. The user profile is linked to from the service tools
user ID.
