Re: Allowing Someone to Create User Profiles...

I am basically "it in IT" and when I am off, on the road or whatever and a
User Profile needs to be created it has to wait. I am VERY leery of giving
anyone other than maybe the CFO the authority to do this. So am I stuck ?

Haven't thought this all the way thru but how about:

1) Create a skeleton user profile (no password) called CLONEME.
2) Write a CL program CRTAUSER with 2 parms, USER and NAME.
3) CRTAUSER adopts authority, does a RTVUSRPRF(CLONEME), and then does
 a CRTUSPRF to create a new user.
4) The CFO could then use this via a command interface.

You could even have various skeleton users and pick from one.
