Function Usage IDs
Function Usage IDs for controlling feature and function for users within IBM Navigator for i.
Authorization to the IBM Navigator for i
interface can be controlled by using function usage IDs. These IDs control different high-level
categories within the Navigator. If a user is denied access to one of the high-level areas, that
user is not ALLOWEDed to access any of the function areas under that high-level area. The new
function usage IDs are defined in the next table:
| Function ID | Description | Default Authority | *ALLOBJ |
|---|---|---|---|
| QIBM_NAV_ALL_FUNCTION | Use of IBM® Navigator for i functions | *DENIED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_WRK_MGT | Work Management | *ALLOWED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_CONF_SRV | Configuration & Service | *ALLOWED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_SYSTEM | System | *ALLOWED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_MONITORS | Monitors | *ALLOWED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_NETWORK | Network | *ALLOWED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_SECURITY | Security | *ALLOWED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_USERS_GROUPS | Users and Groups | *ALLOWED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_PDI | Performance | *ALLOWED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_FILE_SYSTEM | File System | *ALLOWED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_SVRSHRS | NetServer Shares | *ALLOWED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_FS_UPLD | File System Upload | *DENIED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_FS_DOWNLD | File System Download | *ALLOWED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_SERVICEABILITY | Serviceability | *DENIED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_CUSTOM_CHARTS | Custom Charts | *ALLOWED | *USED |
| QIBM_NAV_AJS |
Note:
- All existing function usage IDs for previous interfaces are untouched and do not apply to the new Navigator interface.
- All function usage IDs are shipped with a default of *ALLOWED except for All Function, Serviceability ID, and IFS Upload. For function IDs shipped with a default of *DENIED, user profiles without authority will need to have *ALLOWED access to the function ID for access to those features. When granted explicit access through the function ID, the user profile is able to access component features. For Serviceability this includes function such as the Navigator Logs directory or the Navigator Keystore file.
- More IDs can be added based on user feedback and usage rational.
