Creating profiles for non-root users

The non-root user can receive permissions for files and directories so that the non-root user can create a profile.

Before you begin

This task assumes a basic familiarity with the wasprofile command, the Profile Creation wizard, and system commands.

This task uses the following terms:
  • Root users refers to:
    • [Linux] [HP-UX] [Solaris] [AIX] Root users
    • [Windows] Administrators
  • Non-root users refers to:
    • [Linux] [HP-UX] [Solaris] [AIX] Non-root users
    • [Windows] Non-administrators
Remember: An ease-of-use limitation exists for non-root users who create profiles. Mechanisms within the Profile Creation wizard that suggest unique names and port values are disabled for non-root users. The non-root user must change the default field values in the Profile Creation wizard for the profile name, node name, and port assignments. Consider assigning non-root users a range of values for each of the fields. You can assign responsibility to the non-root users for adhering to their assigned value ranges and for maintaining the integrity of their own definitions.
