datastage user creation without run permission

[sunayan_pal]

hi,

i need to create a user who can logged on to datastage and can view the job , i mean to say , he can see the metadata of a table , logic of transformer etc but cannot modify the jobs and cannot run the job as well in the director.

but if i enter with the Datastage Designer role i can do all the thing.

please suggest hw can i create such a user.
remember we can't make the job read only as then even a designer role cannot edit the job then.


regards
Sunayan

Welcome aboard. Is this question about DataStage TX, or DataStage other than TX?

If the latter what you request is not possible. If DataStage TX (which is suggested by the forum in which you chose to post) I do not know whether what you ask is possible, though I doubt it.

The reason is that DataStage does not have its own user-based authentication mechanism. It uses roles which, in turn, are based upon membership in operating system groups. And there is no role that provides the functionality you request.

All you can do is submit an enhancement request. There is a forum here for doing that, or you can submit through your support provider. In either method you will need to make a business case to justify the change.
