Authorization code (AUTC)

The OMS authorization code determines which OMS functions can be executed for a user, user class or user group. Some OMS functions also require authority at environment level. Valid authorization codes are:

0=None (*NONE)
No rights are assigned to the related users. This value is useful if authorization codes are assigned at the group or class level and one single user has to be omitted.
1=User (*USER)
Only functions at the end-user level can be executed. These users are in general able to maintain their own user requests and enquire about the related Fix information. The request processor is allowed to maintain the requests from all users if he has authorization code 1 assigned to him.
2=Programmer (*DEV)
Code two is specially meant for functions at the programmer level. They are allowed to maintain their own fixes, to connect objects to fixes, and start Fix Processing. Specific authorization depends on the rights assigned at environment level. The request processor is allowed to maintain the fixes from all programmers if he has authorization code 2 assigned to him.
3=Application manager (*ADMIN)
Users with code 3 are application managers and have rights for all functions at the application level.

Note: 1. See the description per function for a more detailed Note: explanation about rights. The assigned authorization code can be changed at any time.

*SAME
Use this value to indicate that the authorization code does not change if you are in change mode.
