Create User Profile (CRTUSRPRF)

The Create User Profile (CRTUSRPRF) command identifies a user to the system and allows you to customize the way the system appears. When the profile is created, the profile is given *CHANGE and *OBJMGT authorities for the profile itself. The system relies on the profile having these authorities to itself and they should not be removed.

Restrictions: The user of this command must have:

• Security administrator (*SECADM) special authority
• Use (*USE) authority to the initial program, initial menu, job description, message queue, output queue, and attention-key-handling program (if specified)
• Change (*CHANGE) and object management (*OBJMGT) authorities to the group profile and supplemental group profiles (if specified).

Parameters

User profile (USRPRF)

Specifies the user profile to be created. A numeric user profile can be specified. If the user profile begins with a numeric, it must be prefixed with a Q.

This is a required parameter.

name

Specify the name of the user profile to be created.

User password (PASSWORD)

Specifies the password that allows the user to sign on the system. The password is associated with a user profile and is used by the system to represent the user in the system. The passwords should be known only to the individual user. A numeric password can be specified.

When the system is operating at password level 0 or 1 and the password begins with a numeric, then the password must be prefixed with a Q, for example, Q1234 where 1234 is the password used for signing on the system, or Q1ABC where 1ABC is the password used for signing on the system.

Note: The password level is controlled by the Password Level (QPWDLVL) system value.

Note: If the QPWDRULES system value contains the value *ALLCRTCHG then verification is done to ensure the new password meets the password composition rules of the system. For a description of the password composition rules, see the System i Security Reference, SC41-5302 book.

*USRPRF

The password for this user is the same as the user name specified on the USRPRF parameter. When the system is operating at password level 2 or 3 and the *USRPRF value was specified for the user profile password, the user must enter their password using upper case characters.

*NONE

No password is associated with this user profile. Users cannot sign on a system with a profile that has PASSWORD(*NONE) specified.

user-password

When the system is operating at password level 0 or 1, specify an alphanumeric character string of 10 characters or less. The first character must be alphabetic and the other characters must be alphanumeric.

When the system is operating at password level 2 or 3, specify a character string of 128 characters or less. Passwords are case sensitive at password level 2 or 3.

If the local password management (LCLPWDMGT) parameter is *NO, the local IBM i password will be set to *NONE, so the user would have the same restrictions as specifying *NONE for the password. The password value specified will be sent to other IBM products or solutions that do password synchronization (for example, IBM i integration with BladeCenter and System x at http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/bladecenter/). See the documentation for the product or solution for information on managing the passwords when LCLPWDMGT(*NO) is specified for the user profile.

Set password to expired (PWDEXP)

Specifies whether the password for this user is set to expired. If the password is set to expired, the user is required to change the password to sign on the system. When the user attempts to sign on the system, the sign-on information display is shown and the user has the option to change this password.

*NO

The password is not set to expired.

*YES

The password is set to expired.

Status (STATUS)

Specifies the status of the user profile. The system will disable a user profile when:

• The user profile reaches the maximum number of password verifications. The maximum number of password verifications is reached when the number of failed password verification attempts reaches the limit specified on the QMAXSIGN system value and option 2 or 3 has been specified on the QMAXSGNACN system value.
• The user profile expiration date is reached. Use the Display User Profile (DSPUSRPRF) command to display the user expiration date.
• The STATUS parameter is set to *DISABLED on the Create User Profile (CRTUSRPRF) or Change User Profile (CHGUSRPRF) command.

*ENABLED

The user profile is valid for sign-on.

*DISABLED

The user profile is not valid for sign-on until an authorized user enables it again. Batch jobs can be submitted under a disabled user profile.

User class (USRCLS)

Specifies the type of user associated with this user profile: security officer, security administrator, programmer, system operator, or user. The user class controls the options that are shown on a menu. Special authorities are given only if *USRCLS is specified for the Special authority (SPCAUT) parameter. If SPCAUT(*USRCLS) is specified, the special authorities granted will differ depending on the QSECURITY value.

*USER

At QSECURITY level 10 or 20, the user has *ALLOBJ and *SAVSYS authority.

At QSECURITY level 30 or above, the user has no special authorities.

*SECOFR

At all levels of security, the security officer is granted the following special authorities:

• *ALLOBJ
• *SAVSYS
• *JOBCTL
• *SERVICE

Current library (CURLIB)

Specifies the name of the current library associated with the job being run.

Specifies the name of the library to be used as the current library for this user. If *PARTIAL or *YES is specified for the Limit capabilities (LMTCPB) parameter of the Create User Profile (CRTUSRPRF) or Change User Profile (CHGUSRPRF) command, the user cannot change the current library at sign-on or with the Change Profile (CHGPRF) command.

Limit capabilities (LMTCPB)

Specifies the limit to which the user can control the program, menu, current library, and the ATTN key handling program values. It also determines whether the user can run commands from a command line. This parameter is ignored when the security level is 10.

Note: When creating or changing other users' user profiles, you cannot specify values on this parameter that grant greater capabilities to other users than your own user profile grants to you. For example, if *PARTIAL is specified for the Limit capabilities (LMTCPB) parameter in your user profile, you can specify *PARTIAL or *YES for another user. You cannot specify *NO for another user.

*NO

The program, menu, and current library values can be changed when the user signs on the system. Users may change the program, menu, current library, or ATTN key handling program values in their own user profiles with the Change Profile (CHGPRF) command. Commands can be run from a command line.

*PARTIAL

The program and current library cannot be changed on the sign-on display. The menu can be changed and commands can be run from a command line. A user can change the menu value with the Change Profile (CHGPRF) command. The program, current library, and the ATTN key handling program cannot be changed using the CHGPRF command.

*YES

The program, menu, and current library values cannot be changed on the sign-on display. Commands cannot be run when issued from a command line or by selecting an option from a command grouping menu such as CMDADD, but can still be run from a command entry screen. The user cannot change the program, menu, current library, or the ATTN key program handling values by using the CHGPRF command.

• Job control (*JOBCTL) special authority is given to the user. The user is given the authority to change, display, hold, release, cancel, and clear all jobs that are running on the system or that are on a job queue or output queue that has OPRCTL (*YES) specified. The user also has the authority to load the system, to start writers, and to stop active subsystems.
• Security administrator (*SECADM) special authority to users who need to create, change, or delete user profiles.
• All object (*ALLOBJ) special authority to users who need to work with system resources.
• Service (*SERVICE) special authority to users who need to perform service functions.
• Spool control (*SPLCTL) special authority to users who need to perform all spool-related functions.

Restrictions:

• The user profile creating or changing another user profile must have all of the special authorities being given. All special authorities are needed to give all special authorities to another user profile.
• A user must have *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities to give a user *SECADM special authority when using the CHGUSRPRF command.
• The user must have *ALLOBJ, *SECADM, and *AUDIT special authorities to give a user *AUDIT special authority when using the CHGUSRPRF command.

Single values

*USRCLS

Special authorities are granted to this user based on the value specified on User class (USRCLS) parameter.

*NONE

No special authorities are granted to this user.

Other values

*ALLOBJ

All object authority is given to the user. The user can access any system resource with or without private user authorizations.

*AUDIT

Audit authority is granted to this user. The user is given the authority to perform auditing functions. Auditing functions include turning auditing on or off for the system and controlling the level of auditing on an object or user.

*JOBCTL

Job control authority is given to the user. The user has authority to change, display, hold, release, cancel, and clear all jobs that are running on the system or that are on a job queue or output queue that has OPRCTL (*YES) specified. The user also has the authority to start writers and to stop active subsystems.

*SAVSYS

Save system authority is given to the user profile. This user has the authority to save, restore, and free storage for all objects on the system, with or without object management authority.

*IOSYSCFG

Input/output (I/O) system configuration authority is given to the user. The user has authority to change system I/O configurations.

*SECADM

Security administrator authority is given to the user. The user can create, change, or delete user profiles if authorized to the Create User Profile (CRTUSRPRF), Change User Profile (CHGUSRPRF), or Delete User Profile (DLTUSRPRF) commands and is authorized to the user profile. This authority does not allow giving special authorities that this user profile does not have. To give *SECADM special authority to another user, a user must have both *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities.

*SERVICE

Service authority is given to this user. The user can perform service functions.

*SPLCTL

Spool control authority is given to this user. The user can perform all spool functions.

Special environment (SPCENV)

Specifies the special environment in which the user operates after signing on.

*SYSVAL

The system value, QSPCENV, is used to determine the system environment after the user signs on the system.

*NONE

The user operates in the IBM i system environment after signing on the system.

*S36

The user operates in the System/36 environment after signing on the system.

Display sign-on information (DSPSGNINF)

Specifies whether the sign-on information display is shown.

*SYSVAL

The system value QDSPSGNINF is used to determine whether the sign-on information display is shown.

*NO

The sign-on information display is not shown.

*YES

The sign-on information display is shown.

Password expiration interval (PWDEXPITV)

Specifies the password expiration interval (in days).

*SYSVAL

The system value QPWDEXPITV is used to determine the password expiration interval.

*NOMAX

The password does not expire.

1-366

Specify the number of days between the date when the password is changed and the date when the password expires. Valid values range from 1 through 366.

Block password change (PWDCHGBLK)

Specifies the time period during which a password is blocked from being changed following the prior successful password change operation. This value can be used to prevent users from reusing the same expired password value by simply changing their password numerous times to get back to the expired password value (and defeating the purpose of the QPWDRQDDIF system value). This parameter does not restrict a security administrator from using a command like Change User Profile (CHGUSRPRF) to change the password.

In addition, this parameter will not block the user from changing their profile's password when the set to expired (PWDEXP) value is *YES. This allows a security administrator to create a user profile with an expired password and still permit the user to sign-on and change the password (once) without being prevented by the block password change value.

*SYSVAL

The system value QPWDCHGBLK is used to determine the block password change value.

*NONE

The password can be changed at any time.

1-99

Indicates the number of hours a user must wait after the prior successful password change operation before they are able to change the password again.

Local password management (LCLPWDMGT)

Specifies whether the user profile password should be managed locally.

*YES

Password will be managed on the local system.

*NO

Password will not be managed on the local system. Specifying this value will cause the local IBM i password to be set to *NONE. The password value specified in the password parameter will be sent to other IBM products or solutions that do password synchronization (for example, IBM i integration with BladeCenter and System x at http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/bladecenter/).

The user will not be able to change their own password using the Change Password (CHGPWD) command. They also will not be able to sign on to the system directly.

Specifying this value will affect other IBM products or solutions that do password synchronization, like IBM i integration with BladeCenter and System x at http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/bladecenter/. See the documentation for the product or solution for details.

This value should be used if the user only needs to access the system through some other platform, such as Windows.

Limit device sessions (LMTDEVSSN)

Specifies if the number of device sessions allowed for a user is limited. This does not limit SYSREQ and second sign-on.

*SYSVAL

The system value QLMTDEVSSN is used to determine whether the user is limited to a specific number of device sessions.

*NO

The user is not limited to a specific number of device sessions.

*YES

The user is limited to a single device session.

0

The user is not limited to a specific number of device sessions. This value has the same meaning as *NO.

1

The user is limited to a single device session. This value has the same meaning as *YES.

2-9

The user is limited to the specified number of device sessions.

Keyboard buffering (KBDBUF)

Specifies the keyboard buffering value to be used when a job is initialized for this user profile. If the type-ahead feature is active, you can buffer your keyboard strokes. If the attention key buffering option is active, the attention key is buffered as any other key. If it is not active, the attention key is not buffered and is sent to the system even if the display station is input-inhibited. This value can also be set by a user application. More information is in the APIs topic collection in the Programming category in the IBM i Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/infocenter/.

*SYSVAL

The system value, QKBDBUF, is used to determine the keyboard buffering value.

*NO

The type-ahead feature and attention key buffering option are not active.

*TYPEAHEAD

The type-ahead feature is active, but the attention key buffering option is not.

*YES

The type-ahead feature and attention key buffering option are active.

Maximum allowed storage large (MAXSTGLRG)

Specifies the maximum amount of auxiliary storage (in kilobytes) assigned to store permanent objects owned by this user profile (1 kilobyte equals 1024 bytes) in the system auxiliary storage pool (ASP) and on all the basic ASPs combined. In addition, the value specified for this parameter also controls the maximum amount of auxiliary storage that can be used to store permanent objects owned by this user profile on each Independent ASP (IASP). For example, if the value for this parameter is set to 100, this user is allowed to own objects that have a total size of 100K in the system ASP and all basic ASPs combined. This user is also allowed to own objects that have a total size of 100K on each IASP.

If the maximum is exceeded when an interactive user tries to create an object, an error message is displayed, and the object is not created. If the maximum is exceeded when an object is created in a batch job, an error message is sent to the job log (depending on the logging level of the job), and the object is not created.

Note: You can specify a value for either the Maximum allowed storage (MAXSTG) parameter or the Maximum allowed storage large (MAXSTGLRG) parameter, but not for both.

Storage is allocated in 4K increments. Therefore, if you specify MAXSTG(9) or MAXSTGLRG(9), the profile is allocated 12K of storage.

When planning maximum storage for user profiles, consider the following system actions:

• A restore operation assigns the storage to the user doing the restore, and then transfers the object to the owner. For a large restore, specify MAXSTGLRG(*NOMAX) or MAXSTG(*NOMAX).
• The user profile that creates a journal receiver is assigned the required storage as the receiver size grows. If new receivers are created using JRNRCV(*GEN), the storage continues to be assigned to the user profile that owns the active journal receiver. If a very active journal receiver is owned, specify MAXSTGLRG(*NOMAX) or MAXSTG(*NOMAX).
• User profiles that transfer created objects to their group profile must have adequate storage in the user profiles to contain created objects before the objects are transferred to the group profile.
• The owner of the library is assigned the storage for the descriptions of objects which are stored in a library, even when the objects are owned by another user profile. Examples of such objects are text and program references.

*NOMAX

As much storage as is required is assigned to this profile.

number

Specify the maximum amount of storage for the user, in kilobytes (1 kilobyte equals 1024 bytes). The possible range is 0 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.

Maximum allowed storage (MAXSTG)

Specifies the maximum amount of auxiliary storage (in kilobytes) assigned to store permanent objects owned by this user profile (1 kilobyte equals 1024 bytes) in the system auxiliary storage pool (ASP) and on all the basic ASPs combined. In addition, the value specified for this parameter also controls the maximum amount of auxiliary storage that can be used to store permanent objects owned by this user profile on each Independent ASP (IASP). For example, if the value for this parameter is set to 100, this user is allowed to own objects that have a total size of 100K in the system ASP and all basic ASPs combined. This user is also allowed to own objects that have a total size of 100K on each IASP.

If the maximum is exceeded when an interactive user tries to create an object, an error message is displayed, and the object is not created. If the maximum is exceeded when an object is created in a batch job, an error message is sent to the job log (depending on the logging level of the job), and the object is not created.

Note: You can specify a value for either the Maximum allowed storage (MAXSTG) parameter or the Maximum allowed storage large (MAXSTGLRG) parameter, but not for both.

Storage is allocated in 4K increments. Therefore, if you specify MAXSTG(9) or MAXSTGLRG(9), the profile is allocated 12K of storage.

When planning maximum storage for user profiles, consider the following system actions:

• A restore operation assigns the storage to the user doing the restore, and then transfers the object to the owner. For a large restore, specify MAXSTGLRG(*NOMAX) or MAXSTG(*NOMAX).
• The user profile that creates a journal receiver is assigned the required storage as the receiver size grows. If new receivers are created using JRNRCV(*GEN), the storage continues to be assigned to the user profile that owns the active journal receiver. If a very active journal receiver is owned, specify MAXSTGLRG(*NOMAX) or MAXSTG(*NOMAX).
• User profiles that transfer created objects to their group profile must have adequate storage in the user profiles to contain created objects before the objects are transferred to the group profile.
• The owner of the library is assigned the storage for the descriptions of objects which are stored in a library, even when the objects are owned by another user profile. Examples of such objects are text and program references.

*NOMAX

As much storage as is required is assigned to this profile.

number

Specify the maximum amount of storage for the user, in kilobytes (1 kilobyte equals 1024 bytes). The possible range is 0 to 2,147,483,647.

Highest schedule priority (PTYLMT)

Specifies the highest scheduling priority the user is allowed to have for each job submitted to the system. This value controls the job processing priority and output priority for any job running under this user profile; that is, values specified in the JOBPTY and OUTPTY parameters of any job command cannot exceed the PTYLMT value of the user profile under which the job is run. The scheduling priority can have a value ranging from 0 through 9, where 0 is the highest priority and 9 is the lowest priority.

3

The user named in this profile can have a priority value no higher than 3 for scheduling jobs on the system.

0-9

Specify a value ranging from 0 through 9 for the highest scheduling priority that the user is allowed.

Job description (JOBD)

*CHANGE

The user can perform all operations on the object except those limited to the owner or controlled by object existence (*OBJEXIST) and object management (*OBJMGT) authorities. The user can change and perform basic functions on the object. *CHANGE authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR) authority and all data authority. If the object is an authorization list, the user cannot add, change, or remove users.

*USE

The user can perform basic operations on the object, such as running a program or reading a file. The user cannot change the object. Use (*USE) authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR), read (*READ), and execute (*EXECUTE) authorities.

*EXCLUDE

The user cannot access the object.

Group authority type (GRPAUTTYP)

Specifies the type of authority to be granted to the group profile for newly-created objects. If *NONE is specified for the Group authority (GRPAUT) parameter, specification of this parameter is ignored.

*NOTIFY

The job to which the message queue is assigned is notified when a message arrives at the message queue. For interactive jobs at a work station, the audible alarm is sounded (if the alarm feature is set) and the Message Waiting light is turned on. The delivery mode cannot be changed to *NOTIFY if the message queue is also being used by another job.

*HOLD

The messages are held in the message queue until they are requested by the user or program.

*BREAK

The job to which the message queue is assigned is interrupted when a message arrives at the message queue. If the job is an interactive job, the audible alarm is sounded (if the alarm feature is set). The delivery mode cannot be changed to *BREAK if the message queue is also being used by another job.

Attention program (ATNPGM)

Specifies the program to be used as the Attention (ATTN) key handling program for this user. The ATTN key handling program is called when the ATTN key is pressed during an interactive job. The program is active only when the user routes to the system-supplied QCMD command processor. The ATTN key handling program is set on before the initial program (if any) is called and it is active for both program and menu. If the program changes the ATNPGM (by using the SETATNPGM command), the new program remains active only for the duration of the program. When control returns and QCMD calls the menu, the original ATTN key handling program becomes active again. If the SETATNPGM command is run from the menus or an application is called from the menus, the new ATTN key handling program that is specified overrides the original ATTN key handling program. If *YES or *PARTIAL is specified for the Limit capabilities (LMTCPB) parameter on the Create User Profile (CRTUSRPRF) or Change User Profile (CHGUSRPRF) command, the ATTN key handling program cannot be changed.

If a user profile is set to expire, the QSECEXP1 job is scheduled to run nightly.

*NONE

The user profile does not have an expiration date.

*USREXPITV

The user expiration date is to be calculated using the value specified for the User expiration interval (USREXPITV) parameter.

date

Specifies the date when the user profile expires. The date must be specified in the job date format.

User expiration interval (USREXPITV)

Specifies the expiration interval (in days) before the user profile is automatically disabled. Use the Display User Profile (DSPUSRPRF) command to display the date the user profile expires. Use the Display Expiration Schedule (DSPEXPSCD) command to display a list of all user profiles set to expire.

Note: A value must be specified for this parameter if the User expiration date (USREXPDATE) parameter has a value of *USREXPITV. If the USREXPDATE parameter has a value other than *USREXPITV, no value is allowed for this parameter.

1-366

Specifies the number of days between today and the date when the user profile expires. Valid values range from 1 through 366.

Authority (AUT)

Specifies the authority you are giving to users who do not have specific authority for the object, who are not on an authorization list, and whose group profile or supplemental group profiles do not have specific authority for the object.

*EXCLUDE

The user cannot access the object.

*ALL

The user performs all operations on the object except those limited to the owner.

*CHANGE

The user can perform all operations on the object except those limited to the owner or controlled by object existence (*OBJEXIST) and object management (*OBJMGT) authorities. The user can change and perform basic functions on the object. *CHANGE authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR) authority and all data authority. If the object is an authorization list, the user cannot add, change, or remove users.

*USE

The user can perform basic operations on the object, such as running a program or reading a file. The user cannot change the object. Use (*USE) authority provides object operational (*OBJOPR), read (*READ), and execute (*EXECUTE) authorities.

Examples

Example 1: Creating a User Profile

CRTUSRPRF   USRPRF(JJADAMS)  PASSWORD(S1CR2T)  SPCAUT(*SAVSYS)
            INLPGM(ARLIB/DSPMENU)

This command creates a user profile with the user name of JJADAMS and a password of S1CR2T. After sign-on, a program called DSPMENU in the ARLIB library is called. The user is granted the save system special authority. Because the other parameters were not specified: (1) The profile has no limit on the amount of storage assigned to it for owned permanent objects; (2) A scheduling priority of 3 is the highest priority that any of the user's jobs can have; (3) The user-defined description text is blank; (4) There is no group profile associated with this user profile; and (5) No authority is granted for the user profile to other users.

Example 2: Creating a User Profile with the Same User Name and Password

CRTUSRPRF   USRPRF(TMSMITH)  MAXSTG(12)  INLPGM(PROGMR/CALC)
            TEXT('Ted Smith, Dept 410, Application Programs')

This command creates a user profile with the user name of TMSMITH; the password is also TMSMITH because the password was not specified. The maximum permanent storage space the user can use for all objects is 12K (or 12,288 bytes). The initial program called following sign-on is CALC, which is located in the library named PROGMR. The text parameter provides the user's name, department, and department name. Default values are assigned to the other parameters.
