Re: Owner of User Profiles

I implemented the standard in my shop of changing the owner of *USRPRF
objects to the user itself. That is the owner of the user profile SMITHJ
was SMITHJ, and the owner of DOEJOHN was DOEJOHN.

Most users, other than programmers and operators, would not own any objects
except their own profiles. We created special "application owner" profiles
that were members of the Group QPGMR to own all objects in production
libraries. The application owner would compile all objects into production.
This avoided programmer ownership and default authorities to production
objects. It also simplified deleting user profiles when people left the
company.

Mike,

This sounds like a really good plan, but it wouldn't work here as
we're
a small shop and our staff does a little bit of everything.
However,
perhaps I could create a system admin profile and change the
ownership
of device descriptions to that profile. What other objects would be
owned by this profile?

Thanks,
Dawn

I would use QDFTOWN, that way if someone leaves the system will always
own those objects


I would not recommend that. QDFTOWN is a failsafe for restoring objects
with a non-existent original owner, otherwise you could not restore
these objects. On a well-managed system you'd change the ownership of
such objects to an appropriate owner profile.

I use an separate owner group profiles profile for different user
classes, like #SYSMGR for system managers, #OWNER for end users, etc. So
if an end user creates an object, that object will be owned by #OWNER;
if a system manager creates an object, that object is owned by #SYSMGR.
As a result, all users profiles are owned by #SYSMGR, except the system
manager profile that was created first. A manual CHGOBJOWN takes care of
that, though.
