Issue/Introduction

How to obtain a list of who has access to the Web Viewer application?  We are using mainframe authentication.

Environment

• Output Management Web Viewer 12.1
• View®
• Dispatch™ 

Resolution

This will give you a list of everyone who has logged on. Anyone who knows the URL for the product and has a valid signon to the mainframe repository has access to the application.

While logged in as a Web Viewer system admin, perform the following to export User objects from the Web Viewer database to an XML file:

• Click the Administration tab
  Click the Export Link
• When the Admin Object Export – Webpage Dialog appears, select Users then click the Next button
• When prompted, select a location and name for the file then click Save (the exact steps will vary depending on the browser being used). The default filename is adminUser.xml.  You may have to look behind the browser icon on your taskbar to find this prompt.
• Click the Close button

When you open this file you will find information like this giving the mainframe id of the user and the roles assigned to them:  For example - here is the section for one user: 

<user>
<userID>ABC01</userID>
<memberOf>
<roleName>System Admin</roleName>
<roleName>Default User</roleName>
</memberOf>
</user>

Which means:

• The user's mainframe signon key is ABC01
• This userid can sign on with two different roles - System Admin and Default User.
