Administering admission profiles

&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel

For the administration of admission profiles, openFT-AC offers the FTAC administrator the following commands:

  • ftcrep: create admission profile

  • ftdelp: delete admission profile

  • ftmodp: modify admission profile

  • ftshwp: show admission profile

Alternatively you can administer admission profiles via the openFT Explorer: In the navigation bar, click on Admission Profiles under Administration. You will find a detailed description of the object windows in the online help.

As the FTAC administrator, you have the option of modifying foreign admission profiles:

  • You can view them with the command ftshwp. The transfer admission of an admission profile is not output. This means that the FTAC administrator does not have access rights to the files of foreign user IDs.

  • You can delete them with the command ftdelp. This function is necessary, for example, after deletion of a login name, since the profiles are not automatically deleted when a login name is deleted. You should contact the user before you delete profiles from active login names.

  • You can privilege them with the command ftmodp (-priv=y), or conversely revoke privileges (-priv=n).

  • You can also modify them with ftmodp. Access to the admission profile will then be blocked until the owner of the profile acknowledges these modifications by resetting the transfer admission to “valid”, for example with ftmodp ... -v=y. If you also possess the FT administrator rights or specify explicitly the password in the profile, then the profiles are not locked.

Privileging admission profiles

In exceptional cases, the FT user can use a privileged admission profile to disregard the specifications of own admission profile.

Exceptional cases where this is allowed include:

  • if a particular file needs to be transferred,

  • if follow-up processing is not permitted or severely restricted,

  • if a partner system with a higher security level is permitted to carry out file transfers with the user ID, but others with lower security levels are not.

The user ID protection is maintained in this case, by the fact that only very restricted access is permitted into the admission profile.

You can also delete admission profiles via the openFT Explorer by selecting the Delete command from the context menu.
