fix

The PSAudit Crt, Chg, Restore of User Profiles report displays all new, changed, and restored user profiles. You can use this report to display which user's authority made these changes.

The Changed by User field of this report does not display whether the user profile adopted authority to perform the listed actions. Displaying the user profile from where actions originated allows you to see whether user profiles are adopting authority to create, change, or restore user profiles on your server.

To display the user profiles from where the change requests originated, you can add a Job User field to the Crt, Chg, Restore of User Profiles report. This column displays which user profile owned the job that issued the change to the profile. Comparing the value in the Job User field to the value in the Changed by User field allows you to see if a user profile is adopting authority when creating, changing or restoring user profiles.

To add a Job User column to the Crt, Chg, Restore of User Profiles report:

  1. Run the Crt, Chg, Restore of User Profiles report interactively.
  2. From a command line, type WRKQRY and press Enter.
  3. In the Option field, type 2 (Change) and press Tab.
  4. Type AAQYCP and press Tab.
  5. Type PSAUDIT and press Enter.
  6. Type 1 in the Opt field to the left of Select and sequence fields and press Enter.
  7. Press F11 to see the Seq, Field and Text columns.
  8. Press Page Down twice.
  9. Type 250 in the SEQ field for CPUSER and press Enter.
  10. Press Enter.
  11. Ensure Save definition is set to Y and Run option is set to 3.
  12. Press Enter.
  13. Press F3.
  14. Press F12.
