Unicenter CA-Scheduler Job Management for VSE User Guide

2.3 Maintaining User Records
Manager
Authority allows its users to:
■ Connect to all stations
■ Maintain all database records
■ Control all schedules
2.3.2 The Role of Passwords
People with General or Supervisor authority can display and alter their own
user records. Only users with Manager authority can define, alter or display
user records for others. Whether users at any authority level can display or
update other database records depends on what passwords they have defined.
For a comprehensive list of the specific tasks permitted by each authority level,
see the description of the Userid Definition panel in the Unicenter CA-Scheduler
Reference Guide Part 1.
Authority levels define what data users can access; but passwords control
whether users can update or just display that data. People need read
passwords to log on to Unicenter CA-Scheduler. Write passwords control a
user's capabilities in two ways:

You can prevent users from changing data by not assigning them a write
password.
Users assigned write passwords decide when they want to use that update
capability. If they logon to Unicenter CA-Scheduler with their write
password, they can update the database during that logon session, but if
they signon without specifying their write password, they can only display
data during that session.
2.3.3 Getting Started
All the tasks involved with maintaining user records originate from the same
menus. To initiate this kind of maintenance, begin at the Unicenter
