BS2000 user administration can be organized in two fundamentally different ways:
It may be centralized, in which case it is performed by global user administration.
It may be decentralized, in which case it is performed by group administrators (see "User groups").
Both options enable system administration to adapt user administration to specific requirements and thereby achieve an efficient and flexible organization. Special precautions are required when combining centralized and decentralized user administration.
In principle, user administration includes functions resulting from the assignment of job classes to user IDs within the framework of job management. The sections below, however, deal exclusively with the administration of user IDs and user groups.
