OLACLASS
Description
Specifies the user's OLA and IBM Session Manager Administration Plug-in security class.
This common end-user parameter is applicable to these control statements: SYSTEM (see SYSTEM statement), PROFILE (see PROFILE statement), USER (see USER statement), and TERMINAL (see TERMINAL statement).
Format
OLACLASS ola-class
Usage
When a user attempts to invoke a particular OLA or IBM Session Manager Administration Plug-in task (for example, to display a menu, or list certain attribute values), the security function checks to see if the user's OLA security class allows that task to be performed. Therefore, the user's OLA security class defines what the user can or cannot do. For example, in OLA if a particular user is authorized to execute just a single item on a particular menu then the menu display is bypassed and the panel for the single item is shown.
The IBM Session Manager configuration as shipped comes with these OLA security classes defined; for details, refer to the Online and Batch Administration manual:

Notes:
- All users in the same OLA security class have the same capability.
- For the IBM Session Manager configuration as shipped, only an Implementor can view and update OLACLASS attributes. However, an Implementor could update OLACLASS attributes such that other OLA classes have this capability.
- OLA security settings are used to define completely what the user is allowed to do. For details, see the Online and Batch Administration manual.
- The IBM Session Manager user-associated variable t_security_class may be used to refer to the value of a user's OLA security class; for details, see the Panels, Scripts and Variables manual.
- The OLA security class will be determined by an ESM if an OLARESNAME is specified on the SECURITY parameter of the SYSTEM statement. In this case, any OLACLASS settings in the configuration will be ignored. For further details, see SECURITY.
