The Information Center Facility's
user enrollment service is a simple way to add users to TSO/E and
identify them to the Information Center Facility
If a person already has a TSO/E user ID, you can still follow the
enrollment process explained later in the chapter.
The enrollment process takes you through the necessary steps to achieve
the following results:
- Create or update an Information Center Facility names
directory entry for the person.
- Assign a user type to define the user to various components
of the system, such as TSO/E, RACF®,
and the VSAM master catalog.
- Create or update the Information Center Facility/ISPF
user profile. The Information Center Facility creates
the user's profile by copying the system default ISPF profile. The
user profile controls communication between the user and the system
by setting:
- Terminal characteristics, such as the type of terminal, the number
of PF keys, and the screen format.
- Log and list parameters that determine how information in the
log and list data sets are processed (such as printed or filed) when
a user exits from the Information Center Facility.
- Program function (PF) keys. These keys can be set to issue
one or more commands or subcommands such as END, PRINT, or SPLIT screen.
At the end of this chapter is
an enrollment worksheet. You can make a copy of the worksheet on
which to write specific information necessary to enroll a person.
Your installation can use security labels if RACF is installed. To define security labels
for users, you must use RACF commands.
The Information Center Facility does
not support security labels. See z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide for
information about defining security labels for users.
Two other
Information Center Facility services
are related to enrollment:
- Maintaining user type definitions (the USERTYPE option).
A user type defines how a person uses TSO/E and the Information Center Facility, for
example, as an administrator or as a user. This service allows you
to add, modify, delete, or view user type definitions. User type
definitions specify information used in enrollment. When enrolling
a person, instead of specifying the information directly, you assign
the person a user type. To read more about user types, see Maintaining User Type Definitions.
- Setting the system default ISPF profile (the ISPFDEF option,
which is available from the SYSDEF option). Using the ISPFDEF option,
you can change the model profile the system copies during enrollment.
For more information, see Setting System Defaults: ISPF Profile.

Before you begin the enrollment process,
read the online tutorial. The tutorial describes how to perform the
tasks necessary in enrolling people in the Information Center Facility. To
read the tutorial, select:
- The ENROLL option on the main menu panel for administrators
- The TUTORIAL option on the Enroll Menu panel.
For detailed information about using a particular panel,
press the HELP PF key while you are on that panel.
