Assigning a connection group to a user gives that user permission to use any connection belonging to that group. A user can belong to only one connection group and can use only the connections in that group. If a user login definition does not have a connection group assigned to it, and that user sends a request when security is enforced at TRS, then TRS rejects that request.
Use the connection group procedures to:
Define the connections that make up a connection group
Modify that list by adding or deleting connections
Query connection groups to determine the connections that belong to them
Add or delete entire connection groups
All connections listed in a connection group must be defined to TRS and to your SNA support. When a connection is defined, you can assign it to any number of connection groups. Likewise, you can assign a connection group to any number of users.
Connection-level security allows you to:
Dedicate a single specific connection to a particular user. To do this, define a connection group to include a single connection, then assign that connection group to a single user.
Dedicate a group of connections to a particular user. To do this, define a connection group to include the desired connections, then assign that connection group to a single user.
Dedicate a group of connections to a specific group of users. To do this, define a connection group to include the desired connections, then assign that connection group to all users in the group.
To add new connection groups to TRS and to modify and delete existing connection groups, use the procedures described in the following sections.
