Creating user profiles

You can create a user profile by using the Work with User Profiles (WRKUSRPRF) list display, using the Create User Profile (CRTUSRPRF) command, using the Work with User Enrollment option from the SETUP menu or using IBM® Navigator for i .

The user who creates the user profile owns it and is given *ALL authority to it. The user profile is given *OBJMGT and *CHANGE authority to itself. These authorities are necessary for normal operations and should not be removed.

A user profile cannot be created with more authorities or capabilities than those of the user who creates the profile.

Note: You cannot use the Create User Profile(CRTUSRPRF) command to create a user profile into an independent disk pool. However, when a user is privately authorized to an object in the independent disk pool, is the owner of an object on an independent disk pool, or is the primary group of an object on an independent disk pool, the name of the profile is stored on the independent disk pool. If the independent disk pool is moved to another system, the private authority, object ownership, and primary group entries will be attached to the profile with the same name on the target system. If a profile does not exist on the target system, a profile will be created. The user will not have any special authorities and the password will be set to *NONE.
