:-) he-heh "let's go ..."

Is there an option to -disable- someone's NetServer permissions
without affecting their system user profile? Would there be any need
or advantage to block their ability to access the system from a
mapped network drive, but still allow them green-screen access??

Apparently disabling is available only for too many "incorrect sign-on attempts when connecting to iSeries Support for Windows Network Neighborhood (iSeries NetServer)"; i.e. for what is diagnosed by the OS with the message CPIB682.

Perhaps disabling the user is an extension, that could be requested for the Change Server Information (QZLSCHSI) API; e.g. via a new format for /disable/ beyond the already available format [ZLSS0200 Enable user information] that exists to /enable/ user(s):

That is, if the OS can disable [just the NetServer access], then perhaps there is a reason that someone might also have the desire to effect the same, and thus require the same capability to disable. Just being able to mimic what the OS provides is sometimes all that is required, rather than articulating a specific /need/ [e.g. for enabling a 3rd party product], to get such an enhancement. One likely example was the access eventually added for the message key on which a [non-writer] job was waiting, to mimic the 7="Display message" of WRKACTJOB; I do not believe the support was added for any particular 3rd party product, rather just because enough people wanted to be able to mimic what the OS already provided... although perhaps in their own WRKACTJOB-like feature.
