Application registration

Before you can administer applications, register them through Application Administration.

When you register an application, Application Administration creates the application's administrable functions and default settings on the system. System administrators can use these settings to manage which users have access to a function.

An administrable function is any function that you can grant or deny access to by using Application Administration. Administrable functions are shown in the function column of the Application Administration dialogs. Some administrable functions include: Basic Operations, Work Management, and Configuration and Service.

You can register an application with the Local Settings or the Central Settings.

• Application registration on Local Settings
  The Applications (Local Settings) dialog displays a list of iSeries™ Navigator and client applications.

• Application registration on Central Settings
  When the application is first registered (or added), all users and groups are allowed access to the application’s functions by default. You can administer a registered application through Application Administration to control which users have access to an application's functions.
