Granting QMF catalog user profile enrollment

When a user connects to a data source the correct user profile for their user ID is located and their enrollment status is verified to determine which resource limits group to use.

Access to a data source will be granted to a user based on the following types of user ID enrollment:
  • Restricted enrollment, where each user ID must have a matching user profile to gain access to the data source.
  • Open enrollment, where each user ID can either have a matching user profile to gain access to a data source or automatically fall into a default user profile called SYSTEM.

With open enrollment, every user has access to the SYSTEM user profile, giving every user potential access to the data source. You can create unique profiles for some users and allow other users to use the SYSTEM default profile.

With restricted enrollment, every user must have a unique user profile in order to access the data source. When setting up restricted enrollment, you delete the SYSTEM profile, which prevents users without unique profiles from accessing the data source.
