RE: User Profile Analysis

I don't know where you guys come up with all these sites at your
fingertips. That's pretty impressive - however, I'm not looking for
"tips". We have SkyViewPartners software installed and that does a super
job of letting me know what's going on on our various systems.

What I'm trying to build is a report/display that will integrate user
profile data with the menu options that each user is associated with.
Therefore, I have to start with code (if available) that I can change.
So, I guess, to answer your question in the way you asked it, we're
trying to get "interesting data".

Perhaps SECURITY 400 list would be more suitable to your needs.
What is the purpose of this? ... is it to get interesting data, or are
you trying to improve your security. If the latter, then there is a
mountain of tools already available.
http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/security400

There's all kinds of reports and tools available to the IBM Security
officers.
Perhaps all you need to do is select some of that data in a new format.

Beyond vanilla security tools, find a LOT of valuable info at sites of
folks who specialize in 400/i/whatever security. There's a mountain of
places like this ... some of them are very good.

I have been tasked with writing a user profile analysis program. Before

re-inventing the wheel, I want to find out if there is already one
available that will be a quick-start help. So far, my searches have
proven unfruitful. It appears to take a special talent to put words
together in a way that returns the result set required - and I don't
seem to have that talent...

What I am envisioning is a program that brings up a subfile of user
profiles on the system. It should be able to locate to specific
profiles, and probably should be able to sort by user description as
well as user profile name.

When a user profile is selected, a second screen would come up that
shows all relevant information regarding that user profile, and then
(from a file specific to our company) give a subfile of menu options
that the user has authority for.

This program should also be able to print one or all user profiles and
the menu options that each profile has authority to.

I hoping for at least RPGLE if not SQLLE, and the use of APIs to gather

information would be a bonus (for learning purposes).

Thank you,

Dave
