ISTech Support Forum - New workstation setup

Kristie Browser Posts: 36 Gender:	New workstation setup 10/26/04 at 11:53:02 I am setting up a new user workstation on TAS6evo. The user is set up on the "old" DBA. The vast majority of our users have limited access in DBA, i.e., they can access IN-A, but not IN-B or IN-C. All of this information is already set up in DBA. Is there anyway I can transfer his user rights from DBA to TAS6evo? [color=Red][/color]

Posts: 1210 Gender:	Re: New workstation setup Reply #2 - 10/26/04 at 12:29:29 I am in the middle of doing that for all my users and it would be nice to have a report with the access by security level in DBA to be looking at while I amd doing the TAS version. What is the file that has this information? I tried BKSYLOG but that didn't give me any data.

Kristie Browser Posts: 36 Gender:	Re: New workstation setup Reply #3 - 10/26/04 at 12:39:33 Okay. I made some mistakes on this user and I would like to delete it and start all over again. This is not going well. How do you delete a user name from SM-TAS-G Groups/Buttons?

Posts: 1210 Gender:	Re: New workstation setup Reply #4 - 10/26/04 at 12:43:37 Highlight the cell with the user name you want to delete and hit your delete button. In other words don't highlight the name, but the cell; there will be a dotted line around the cell. I went around and around with this one too.

One of the challenges of doing this completely from memory.... I believe if you link SYUSER and SLEVEL together that would give meaning to the data.

BKSLEVEL is simply a grid of Y and N that are meaningless without the actual position values of all the different programs in the menu grid.

Posts: 1283 Gender:	Re: New workstation setup Reply #11 - 10/28/04 at 07:25:14 OK, here's an idea.....why not get Allen to create an export definition that includes all this data AND the headers (the menu names), so it can be output as a comma-delimited and brought up in Excel?

Posts: 1210 Gender:	Re: New workstation setup Reply #12 - 10/29/04 at 11:46:10 I finally got the ODBC connection working and pulled the two files into Access, and Lynn is right the data is meaningless. So I am all for Lorne's suggestion though I am sure it is way down on the list of priorities!

Cathy,

You are almost certainly right about the priority. However, I know what is involved to get this added to the export definitions, and ISTS could crank this out with about 4-5 hours of programming effort at the most.

So, maybe it could be done relatively quickly....up to the CEO there.....(hey Lynn-buddy-you listening?..... Grin

)
