IBM Navigator for i - Function Usage ID to allow only management of EIM users

Our helpdesk staff manage the creation and deletion of users and password resets, however I can't grant them access to Navigator for i to manage EIM user entries for SSO as it gives them far too much access. Please provide a Function Usage ID which only allows access to manage EIM entries.

    .Which functions under EIM would you want separately controlled?


    There are 63 endpoints defined from EIM functions which could all be controlled by a new Function Usage ID. This would be shipped as default *ALLOWED (same as QIBM_NAV_SECURITY). You would then set QIBM_NAV_SECURITY to *DENIED, and this would allow users to access only the EIM functions within SECURITY.


    The main launches are:


    EIM > Setup Wizard - Enterprise Identity Mapping Configuration Wizard


    EIM > Domain Management - Access Control, Mapping Policy, Test a Mapping, Delete, Properties, Connect


    EIM > Configuration - Start and Stop Controller, Servers Jobs, Properties



    More information on Function Usage IDs can be found here: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6485853 along with how to Allow basic *USER profiles access to only one component.
