You can add any userID already enrolled on the iSeries (AS/400) to ActionWare. Security in ActionWare is achieved using iSeries (AS/400) security with our System Options (Master Control File) and the Security Maintenance function within ActionWare. Enrolled userID's are a key component in all ActionWare Security functions.
Initially you will find several sample userID's from the distribution database listed as users. You may delete all of them except AW4. The ActionWare Administrator userID is often used by support to aid you in various situations. The System Administrator should enroll userID AW4 on the iSeries (AS/400).
Additionally, the System Option #1 Allow Access when User not Enrolled will be set to Y meaning that as your users sign on to ActionWare for the first time the system will accept them and automatically add them as enrolled ActionWare users updating some of the user profile fields. Other fields relating to Security will have to be updated manually by the System Administrator. Once you have allowed all of your users to sign on as needed to the ActionWare database it is strongly suggested that you reset System Option #1 to N for NO, Do NOT Allow Access when User not Enrolled. Once that option has been set to N (NO) you will have to enroll users to ActionWare manually.

Many of the prompts to add or enroll a new user relate directly to an enhanced Security program called Hierarchical Security. This is a very complex, restrictive Security matrix that is NOT usually setup unless there are 1000 users or more. The prompts and field values are still required even if you have not activated Hierarchical Security. Regardless of the prompts available you will only have to update the following to add a new user.
Once updated press enter to save.
