User role /BTR/DIF:USER

This involves access to the MiniCube transaction /BTR/MINICUBE with Diffuser Mode giving an error message as below.

The distribution component of technical settings is disabled so the user cannot determine the number of jobs that a program uses when running with Diffuser, as below.

Diffuser also provides enhancement spots to allow developers to apply customer specific authority checks. This can be used to restrict technical as well as administrative settings at a user and program level.
