14. User Master Records and Buffer

User Master Records
The user master records define the user accounts for enabling access to the system. The user master records contain all the access information needed by the system to validate a user logon and assign users access rights to the system, such as passwords and authorization profiles.
User Buffer
User buffers are special areas (tables) containing all the authorizations for the user. These buffers are specific for individual users, and are actually built when the users log on, based on the authorizations contained in the profiles included in the user master record.
When users try to perform activities in the system, the application programs and transactions are checked against the authorization objects and values contained within the user buffer.
The number of entries in the user buffer can be controlled using the profile parameter auth/number_in_userbuffer.
