= Creating New Basic Associated Classes in ZUAUSR =

Until ZUAUSR has been replaced by a more suitable tool, occasionally a new basic class must be created.  One notable example is when we remove functions from ZUAUSR that are no longer requested via that mechanism, but Security Coordinators want a reminder that they need to request termination of a privilege.  Another example is when a new Banner class is created to handle a particular circumstance and that new function will have roles granted in ZUAUSR.

The following topics are discussed:
* Replacing Previous Functions with a Place Holder Class
* Creating New Banner Classes


== Replacing Previous Functions with a Place Holder Class ==
At one time the following class existed in ZUAUSR
||'''Type'''||'''Instance'''||'''Class Name'''||
||UNIX||TALKEETNA||SSH_TALKEETNA||

This class was associated with several complex SUPER classes and each time the SUPER class was added, ZUAUSR administrators would ask OIT-Technical Services to create a Shell account for that user.  We found that the accounts were rarely used.  We were causing unnecessary work for ZUAUSR administrators and OIT-TS.

All instances of the class were deleted from ZUAUSR and a placeholder class was created.  This type of class has to be a SUPER class or Security Coordinators can not see it to select.

||'''Type'''||'''Instance'''||'''Class Name'''||
||SUPER||PROD||SSH_CSM_TO_ADD_OR_DROP_CLS||

The instance is immaterial; it could have been Talkeetna, but I left it as PROD to indicate production.  The class was created with the following statement:

{{{
INSERT INTO ztvclsa
(ztvclsa_class_type, ztvclsa_class_inst, ztvclsa_class_name)
VALUES
('SUPER','PROD','SSH_CSM_TO_ADD_OR_DROP_CLS')
}}}

== Creating New Banner Classes ==
At this point, creating new Banner classes is discouraged, but there have been circumstances when it has been unavoidable.  Case in point, moving all training off of TRNX database instance to PREP database instance necessitated creating a class that only allowed visibility to training functions rather than HR and Finance test functions.

Two groups take steps to install a new Banner Class into ZUAUSR.  EAS defines the class and adds roles as appropriate.  Once that is done, ZUAUSR administrators make it known to ZUAUSR via a script run in SQLPLUS by zuausr@prod.  See [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xL0uUWGDUfD7GzKElSp5OtaFSIHQgbKfu-FS2J7miGk/edit|ZUAUSR Technical Guide v3.0]]; refresh_ZUAUSR_base_banner_classes, pg 17.

The class was created with the following fields:
||'''Field Name'''||'''Value'''||
||ZTVCLSA_CLASS_INST||PREP||
||ZTVCLSA_CLASS_NAME||TRAINING||
||ZTVCLSA_CLASS_TYPE||BANNER||
||ZTVCLSA_CLASS_ATTR_NAME|| ||
||ZTVCLSA_DESCRIPTION|| ||
||ZTVCLSA_SECURITY_LEVEL|| ||
||ZTVCLSA_APPROVAL_FLAG|| ||
||ZTVCLDA_BAD_CLASS_FLAG|| ||
