How to prevent users from adding sessions to their TPX Menu?

Products

• TPX - Session Management

Issue/Introduction

Users can add sessions to their TPX menus dynamically.
Use the User Self-Maintenance Update Class parameter 'Can add session in TPX Admin' to control this capability.

Environment

Release: 5.4
Component: TPX for Z/OS

Resolution

To restrict users from adding sessions, use TPXADMIN:

1. Select Option 1 TPX User/Group Maintenance.
   
   
2. Select Option 4 User Self-Maintenance Update Class.
   
   
3. Select the groupname defined for the user. (You can find a user's groupname by viewing that user via User Maintenance.)
   
   
4. Select the class defined for the user's Update Class. (You can find a user's update class by viewing that user via User Maintenance.)
   
   
5. Select Option 1 TPX Update Class Maintenance.
   
   
6. On the left side you will see 'Can add session in TPX Admin'. Set this to "N".
   
   
7. Have user to log off TPX and back on to have the change take effect.

Note:

The user administrator making this change must have the capability to administer the group that the user has defined as their groupname.
Verify this under User Maintenance via Maintain Administrator Capabilities field 'Groups this User Administrator can modify'.
If the profile assigned to the user has invisible sessions, the user will still be able to add these from the command line.
