Managing Batch User Privileges

The Batch User Privileges editor is used to create and maintain security tokens used in batch processing and to maintain Role privileges for these security tokens. The editor contains a list of user account names, the target OS, and the granted and revoked privileges. For conceptual information, refer to Batch User Privileges in the Concepts online help.
