OVERVIEW

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.

KEY FEATURES

  • 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.
  • Increased Control
    Operators can temporarily bar a menu item or application from use, or limit the number of concurrent users.
  • Improved Security
    Access to separate environments and to sensitive applications is tightly controlled and secure.
  • Audit Support
    Comprehensive auditing and logging facilities are provided for all CENTRAL® Access activity.
  • Single Sign-on
    Users sign on once to a single menu, listing the applications and items they are authorized to access.
  • Menu Consolidation
    Users can view consolidated menus, merging options from different applications when required.
  • Speed of Access
    Fast path facilities are available for application switching, menu positioning, and menu option index search.
