Initially, USERid aaaaiii is valid for account aaaa and USERid bbbbiii is valid for account bbbb. Later, you may decide to change your USERid (e.g., aaaaiii) to be valid for a different account.  Your USERid (aaaaiii) will not change even though you are no longer associated with account aaaa.

To provide customers additional flexibility in managing their accounts, there are four types of Account officials on Titan:

• Account sponsors
• Security coordinators
• Billing coordinators
• Deregistration officials

Set Your Titan Sponsor USERid

Account sponsors on the South system whose initials are valid for multiple accounts (and thus have multiple userids on Titan) must select one of their Titan USERids to be their Titan Sponsor USERid. Go to South Web Sponsor and select Set Titan Sponsor Userid under the Accounts section. This Titan Sponsor USERid can be used to perform sponsor functions for any of the accounts for which one is a sponsor.

Account Sponsor Authorities

Account sponsors and Deregistration officials on the South system continue to have all of the authorities they currently have on the South system.  South account sponsors and DO's should be aware of the following differences on Titan:

• Accounts sponsors can assign security coordinators and billing coordinators to give limited authority to others to handle specific aspects of account managment.
• There is no limit to the number of alternates for any of these positions.
• Security coordinators have all of the security authorities of an account sponsor.  They cannot add, remove or reassign customers within their account, nor can they see billing data for the account.
• Billing coordinators can access the billing information for the account but have no other authorities of the account sponsor.

The Titan Accounts page provides details of the duties and responsibilities of these four positions.

Please check South System Summary of Changes for additional information about differences between the South and Titan systems.

CONNECT:Direct provides data transfer capabilities between computing systems in a robust manner.  The naming convention for CONNECT:Direct on Titan is as follows:

New Node Names and IDs on Titan

• The node name is NIH.STD.NDM
• The APPLid is NIH4NDM
• The NETid is NIH

Users need a valid Titan USERid and RACF password to use CONNECT:Direct.

Administrators of remote systems should add the above CONNECT:Direct node definitions to their net map files and also add the VTAM definition to their VTAM tables.  Changes to the SNODE specification should not be made until the application actually moves to Titan.
