Prior to establishing a PC JIMS user’s authorities in the PC JIMS Security Table, a PC JIMS User ID is created in the iSeries. User IDs in the iSeries are assigned a specific User Class and an initial (or start) menu, based on their needs.

User Class ranges from plain USER to Security Administrator. Users who’s needs are limited to viewing data are typically set to USER. Data entry staff are typically set to SYSOPR. And administrative staff are set to SECOFR.

Start menus go a step further by assigning users a subset of PC JIMS menu options. Functioning much like a Windows security group, start menus essentially restrict a user’s access to only those menu options they need based on office or title. Secondary and tertiary menus are similarly restricted.

Start menus fall into the following categories:

MNUMNU (Main menu)

PC JIMS Courts full menu; for the Circuit Clerk and staff with an administrative role

 

MNUONE (Menu one)

PC JIMS Courts data entry menus; for Clerk staff responsible for data entry

 

MNUJDG (Judge menu)

MNUSTA (State’s Attorney menu)

MNUSHF (Sheriff’s menu)

MNUPUB (Public access menu)
