  Web Services APIs to define who can access IBM Spectrum LSF Application Center

  You can now use the new APIs /platform/ws/users(POST) and /platform/ws/users/{userName}(DELETE) to add users to the database or delete users from the database. Use these APIs when you set ALLOW_UNKNOWN_USER=N and ENABLE_USERGROUP=N in the configuration file pmc.conf to allow access only to users whose accounts are listed in the database.
