WMCPA Spring Conference 2023

Gone are the days of managing IBM i Security using green-screen commands! IBM has provided mechanisms to allow us to manage security
using IBM i Services (SQL) and Navigator for i. During this session Carol will describe the fundamentals of security using these modern
interfaces. She will also show how to use Function Usage, Auditing and Authority Collection to help you manage the security on your IBM i
partitions.
Learning objectives:
• The basics of IBM i Security – security-relevant system values, user profiles and permissions using Navigator for i and IBM i Services
• The basics of IBM i Auditing and how to use IBM i table functions as well as how audit entries are manifested in Navigator for i
• Authority Collection: what it is and how you can use it to reduce permissions
• Using Function Usage (Application Administration) to reduce access to IBM i features
