Establishing a profile structure for your installation

Provide users with a profile using one of these methods:

• Allow users to use the default QMF profile, which is the row of the Q.PROFILES table where the CREATOR column has a value of SYSTEM.

  The Q.PROFILES table is shipped with default profile values predefined in this row. The defaults used by this SYSTEM profile are discussed in Reading the Q.PROFILES table. You can change these values to create a generic profile that meets the needs of your site.

• Create a unique row in Q.PROFILES for the user, as shown in Adding a new user profile to the Q.PROFILES table in CMS. Set the CREATOR column of Q.PROFILES to the primary authorization ID of the user and customize other column values according to individual needs.

You can create unique profiles for some users at your installation and allow other users to use the SYSTEM default profile; you can also delete the SYSTEM profile for security and tracking reasons, thus preventing those who do not have unique profiles from using QMF.
