IBM Workload Scheduler user management
The IBM Workload Scheduler user management on UNIX and Windows operating systems
About this task
Consider the following constraints and properties for
the IBM Workload Scheduler user:
On Windows operating systems:- The installation process automatically creates the IBM Workload Scheduler user. If your security policies do not allow user creation during the installation process, create the user and give it the necessary right as described in Windows user domain rights and structure.
On UNIX and Linux operating systems:- Regardless of
the method of installation you choose, the IBM Workload Scheduler user must be created
manually before running the installation and must be enabled to login to the
machine where the master domain manager is
going to be installed. Use the appropriate UNIX™ and Linux™ operating system commands to create the user.
You can choose to install with the root user or you can perform a no-root installation, using a user without root privileges. Note that if you perform a no-root installation, only the user who performs the installation can use IBM Workload Scheduler. When uninstalling, use the same user who performed the installation.
.Note: Some operating systems require that for users with a password, the password must be changed at the first login. If this is the case, for a successful installation, you will need to log in as the user and change the password for the first time.
