Slide 1

 

In this tutorial we are going to define what Profile Subscription means in the Access Profile Management in IES.

 

Slide 2

 

So if I choose an option

 

Slide 3

 

 

 

Slide 4

 

Like Maintain User…

 

Slide 5

 

 

 

Slide 6

 

 

 

Slide 7

and I recall a current User on the system, and I go to the Profiles  tab …

 

Slide 8

 

Now this particular user is on Profiles Plus.   It could also be on Profiles Only.

 

Slide 9

 

 

 

Slide 10

 

Right, so if it is Profiles Only, then the only menu access that this User will have would be the profiles that we list under Profiles Subscribed to.

 

Slide 11

 

 

 

Slide 12

 

If we choose Profiles Plus….

 

Slide 13

 then it means that the User will have all the access for Profiles Subscribed To

plus may have other options in addition.

 

Slide 14

 

But Profiles are simply other user codes.  Now these can be real users or can be only non-logon users.  That is determined by your policy. 

The best practice really is that the Profiles Subscribed to will usually be non-logon users.  In other words we create users that will not use the system.

They are not real users, but they have menus and they have Access Profiles.  In other words, options that they can perform.

 And then by subscribing another user to one or more of these Profiles then automatically this User will have all the options that those Profiles include.

 

Slide 15

 

 

 

Slide 16

 

So, for example if I go here and I choose Alert  to recall that particular Profile…..

 

Slide 17

 

 

 

Slide 18

 

 

 

Slide 19

.Alerter Administrator…. and I call up this one…

 

Slide 20

 

 

 

Slide 21

 

 

 

Slide 22

 

 

 

Slide 23

 

IES Developer… -  Now  I have two Profiles here.  So if I should now choose the option Generate Profile Access….

 

Slide 24

 

 

 

Slide 25

 

The system will now go and look at all the options that are included in the Profiles listed for this User and will include them as Menu Options for this particular User.

 

Slide 26

 

 

 

Slide 27

 

 

 

Slide 28

 

 

 

Slide 29

 

So that is what Profile Subscription means.

 

Slide 30

 

So what if there is some overlap of some options between the 1st Profile indicated here and the 2nd Profile indicated here?

 

Slide 31

 

 

 

Slide 32

Well it does not matter.    What Profile Subscription means, in effect, is that when the Profile access is generated, then all options found in all die Profiles listed will be given to this User.

But anything will be given only once.  So once a certain option has already been applied for this User, from a certain Profile, and if it is encountered in another Profile, it is not given again because it is already there.

But certainly the User will have all options that are found with all the profiles listed. 

So those are the basics of Profile Subscription.

In another tutorial we discuss further how we manage Profile Subscription.
