Entities

Entity	Description
TABLE	If your user has "Update" access to this resource then they will have the ability to interact with the majority of ESMAC function. Primary items controlled by this setting are the appearance of the buttons for controlling the SEPS (Tracing, Stopping), Stopping the Server, Accessing the console.log, trace data, dump data. If a user has "None" then they will not be shown any buttons other than the Server Status Button and the Monitoring button in addition to the Chg User button which allows them to sign-on. The basic effect of no access to this resource is that they are treated in the same way as an unauthenticated user. If they have "Read" access they will be shown the options but will be unable to perform any updates. If they have "Update" access or greater than they have full control of these functions.
GRP	This resource controls access to the buttons under the Resources list when the By Group selection is used. If the user has "Update" access to this resource, they will be able to access all the buttons that appear under the Resources list when the By Group selection is made. The user also needs "Update" access, as well as the corresponding permission for a particular resource, in order to modify resources, including delete. GRP controls just the Groups button in ESMAC under By Group. It also acts as a upper level control for the resources which are added into groups. GRP also controls the By Type dropdown in ESMAC. If the user has no access to GRP resource, the user is not able to view any of the resources and the By Type does not display the list of resource types in the sidebar. Note: To be able to modify any resource that is associated with a group, the user needs to have alter access to the corresponding resource class in addition to alter access to the GRP resource.
BAT, RNL, SIT, SNT, SUP, URI, XAT, XLT	This controls the access a user has to the various resources when selected via the By Type or Active menus under the Resources list. "None" indicates that they can do nothing with this resource type, "Read" indicates that they can see the current settings, and "Update" indicates that they can modify the entries of this type.
ENV	This controls whether a user has access to view the environment variable settings of an enterprise server by enabling or disabling the Env. Vars. button or using a direct URL. To use this entity, create a new element (ENV*) in the LDAP schema in the CN=MFESMAC group below CN=Enterprise Server Resources. Configure the group or the user access rights using the microfocus-MFDS-Resource-ACE attribute - set `ACE=deny:SYSADM group:read` (disables the Env. Vars. button in ESMAC) or `ACE=allow:SYSADM group:read` (enables Env. Vars. in ESMAC).
TCLS	This controls whether a user has access to view the transaction class settings of an enterprise server by enabling or disabling the TranClass button or using a direct URL. To use this entity, create a new element (TCLS*) in the LDAP schema in the CN=MFESMAC group below CN=Enterprise Server Resources. Configure the group or the user access rights using the microfocus-MFDS-Resource-ACE attribute - set `ACE=deny:SYSADM group:read` (disables the TranClass button in ESMAC) or `ACE=allow:SYSADM group:read` (enables TranClass in ESMAC).
MQL	This controls whether a user has access to view MQ listener and writer settings of an enterprise server in ESMAC. To use this entity, create a new element (MQL*) in the LDAP schema in the CN=MFESMAC group below CN=Enterprise Server Resources. Use the microfocus-MFDS-Resource-ACE attribute to configure the group or the user access rights. For example: `ACE=deny:SYSADM group:read` - denies access to any MQ listeners and writers in ESMAC `ACE=allow:SYSADM group:read` - enables users to view the MQ listeners and writers in ESMAC `ACE=allow:SYSADM group:alter` - enables users to alter MQ listeners and writers in ESMAC
BDL	This controls access to the ESMAC bundle button under the Resources drop down in ESMAC. Bundle is part of CICS WebServices. In order for Bundle to appear in ESMAC the correct CCSID tables need to be installed. See CCSID Conversion Tables for more information.
PIP	This enables full access to any ESMAC PIPELINE Screen.
WEB	This controls access to any ESMAC WEBSERVICE Screen.

Access Level
