5. Plan User Access to Screens and Functions
One way to reduce the number of user records is by having records for employee
groups instead of individual records for each user. For example, you could plan one
user record for use by all system operators and another for all accounting department
staff. It is not recommended that records be used for user groups, however, if their
existence infringes on your organization’s system security guidelines. Such records
would not be appropriate, for example, when a “one user–one ID” rule is in force.
Access privileges for users other than the supervisory user depend on the roles of
those users in your organization. For example, your system operators would need
access to all screens whose functions enable them to control job processing. They
would not necessarily need access to screens used to maintain NetBatch-Plus
database records (such as the catalog screens).
Example
Figure 4-5 is an example of a table used to determine NetBatch-Plus users and their
access privileges. The table lists, for a sample organization, information about a
supervisory user, users in an operators’ group, and four other individual users.
Because of space limitations, the table does not list all NetBatch-Plus screens and
functions. However, you can develop your own table that does. You can use
information from that table when you define users on the Security Supervise, Screen
Security, and Utility Security screens.
The access codes shown in the table are the same as those you enter on the Screen
Security and Utility Security screens. For example, M (for Modify) specifies unlimited
