CENTRAL® Access

CENTRAL® Access

Menu management.

Request a demo

Setting up and maintaining user access across a variety of IBM i business applications can be a time consuming and problematic task. Technical assistance is often required, resulting in unwanted delays and undesirable workarounds in the meantime.

CENTRAL® Access offers a secure and controlled solution to your menu management requirements across one or more networked IBM i servers. End users benefit from a simple and consistent interface for accessing all applications, whether bespoke or developed by an independent software vendor.

Centralized or decentralized menu administration is easy to implement, and user access maintenance can be devolved to non-technical staff to ease bottlenecks without losing control.

Features

Secure and controlled your menu management requirements across one or more networked IBM i servers.

Multiple environments

Multiple environments can be created on each of your IBM i machines for interactive areas such as development, test and production

Granular access

Individual users, groups of users and job functions can be matched to specific items within separate environments and access limited to those items only

Centralized administration

All definitions, such as menu items and user profiles can be centralized on one machine and distributed to other machines in the network

Operators can temporarily bar a menu item or application from use, or limit the number of concurrent users

Improved security

Audit support

Comprehensive auditing and logging facilities are provided for all CENTRAL® Access activity
