OMEGAMON multi-tenancy user types

Edit online

This topic describes the available multi-tenancy user roles and the differences between them.

In a multi-tenancy environment, there are three types of users: a regular user, a power user and a super user. Each user type has a different level of access to resources and features. The regular user and the power user have access only to the tenant (customer) to which the user is defined, whereas the super user has access to all tenants in the environment. Additionally, the regular user and the power user have limited access to some of the enhanced 3270 user interface features, whereas the super user has access to all features. The following list describes access by user type.
user
The regular tenant user has access to resources only for the tenant (customer) to which the user is defined, with limited access to some enhanced 3270 user interface features. The following list describes the available access for the regular tenant user:
  • Access to data for the customer to which user ID is defined
  • Access to products (product tabs) to which user ID is defined
    Note: The PF9 key, used for lateral navigation between products, is disabled.
  • Access to a subset of menu options
  • All icons are disabled
  • Access to a subset of commands
  • The =panelid navigation command is disabled
  • The Plex ID (NAV1) field is read-only
  • The Sys ID (NAV2) field is unlocked, or is as set by the individual OMEGAMON product
  • The name of the customer is displayed in the footer
power user
The power user has access to resources only for the tenant (customer) to which the user is defined, with access to more enhanced 3270 user interface features than the regular tenant user. The following list describes the available access for the power user:
  • Access to data for the customer to which user ID is defined
  • Access to all products for the customer
    Note: The PF9 key, used for lateral navigation between products, is enabled.
  • Access to all menu options
  • Access to all icons
  • Access to all commands
  • The =panelid navigation command is enabled.
  • The Plex ID (NAV1) field is read-only
  • The Sys ID (NAV2) field is unlocked, or is as set by the individual OMEGAMON product
  • The name of the customer is displayed in the footer
super user
The super user has access to all resources for all customers and can access all enhanced 3270 user interface features. The super user has the same abilities as an OMEGAMON user in an environment without multi-tenancy enabled. A super user designation allows the user ID to log on to the enhanced 3270 user interface address space, running in multi-tenancy mode, and not be restricted by any multi-tenancy rules. This capability allows an OMEGAMON system programmer to log on to a multi-tenancy address space and access data from all sources, while regular users are restricted to their own customer views. The following list describes the access for the super user:
  • Access to data for all customers
  • Access to all products for all customers
    Note: The PF9 key, used for lateral navigation between products, is enabled.
  • Access to all menu options
  • Access to all icons
  • Access to all commands
  • The =panelid navigation command is enabled.
  • The Plex ID (NAV1) field is unlocked
  • The Sys ID (NAV2) field is unlocked, or is as set by the individual OMEGAMON product
  • The name of the HUB to which the user is connected is displayed in the footer
