    • New library 'INSITELIB' will be added to all iSeries that Insite is connected to. Upon initial iSeries connection creation, you will be required to provide a login with security administrator (*SECADM) permissions and all object (*ALLOBJ) special authorities, but this login will not be saved. It will only serve to allow Insite to install the INSITELIB library.

      • INSITEUSR and INSITEADM - These users function similarly to how RBTADMIN, PTADMIN and RBTUSER, PTUSER behave upon installation of Robot and Powertech products. They are designed to own all connected product objects so that you are not required to create a profile in Insite with *SECOFR permissions to interact with your iSeries.
    NOTE: For Powertech Network Security users, in order to have *USER on the profile connection and use Powertech products, the profile with the connection MUST be added to the PTADMIN authorization list. More information.
