Securing the NetBatch-Plus Environment

The NetBatch-Plus application lets you control user access to your batch processing

environment.

First, NetBatch-Plus controls access to the NetBatch-Plus database on a record-by-

record basis. This feature lets you prevent unauthorized users from accessing defaults

set, job, and catalog and job attachment records that you own.

Second, your system administrator can control access to screens and functions by

defining access privileges for each user.

Record Security

Each defaults set, job, and catalog and job attachment record in the NetBatch-Plus

database has a Guardian owner. NetBatch-Plus record security determines which

Guardian users can read, write, use, or purge these records. You can restrict record

access to the owner of the record, to members of the owner’s group, or to all users.

These restrictions apply to all NetBatch-Plus users, including those on remote

systems.

Read, write, and purge security applies to all record types in the NetBatch-Plus

database. However, only defaults set and catalog attachment records can have use

access meaningfully defined. The owner of a defaults set can determine which users

can use it. By specifying a particular access type for a defaults set, the owner can

allow only certain users to use it for their job descriptions. Similarly, use access for a

catalog attachment determines which users can use the attachment for their jobs.

Password Validation

The Password Validation screen lets you validate one or more Guardian user IDs for

access to different records. All validated passwords remain current until the end of the

NetBatch-Plus session.
