Grant Functions to Users {GOPS-4}}


This option is much the same as option {USERS-3}, except that it does not check whether the grantor of access has a grant option. It should thus be used by those institutions handling access control in a non-distributed, but centralised fashion, or by the super-user in the distributed mode, who is creating the system co-ordinators' grants. 


GOPS-4 (Grant Function to Users) vs USERS-3 (Link Users to Functions).

Only high-level system administrators should have access to menu option GOPS-4. In here, anybody can 'grant' as well as give 'process' access to anybody. You do not have to have a 'grant' access to a function in order to give either a 'grant' access or a 'process' access to anybody. Keep in mind that if you create a function in menu option USERS-2 (Function Definitions), an entry is automatically created for you in GOPS-4 (and USERS-3) with a 'grant' access option.

Validation applicable to both GOPS-4 and USERS-3:

  1.    Invalid function code.
  2.    Duplicate menu/option combination given to this person: Menu-Option.
  3.    Duplicate grant given to this person for menu option: Menu-Option.
  4.    Duplicate user/function definition.

Validation specification to USERS-3.

  1. Invalid attempt to give access to this function.

This may be because you do not have 'grant' access for that specific function or that there are duplicate menu/option combination for the users, regrettably, you are not authorized to link that user to that function.
