1. A method for accessing user data, comprising:
- accessing a user identifier denoting a user by a central method in response to at least one of use of and a request to use an operating resource having a function produced by an application program;
storing a configuration identifier for the user identifier by the central method, the configuration identifier being usable in a configuration method to access application data read by the application program when the operating resource is used by the user; and
configuring the operating resource by one of a central access type where the configuration method is carried out using the configuration identifier when the central method is carried out, and a local access type where at least one of the user identifier and an operating resource identifier denoting the operating resource are transmitted to a unit for the purpose of carrying out the configuration method by the unit and passing the at least one of the user identifier and the operating resource identifier to the central method.

Abstract
A central method is used to access a user identifier which denotes a user who is using or wishes to use an operating resource whose function is provided by an application program. The central method is used to store a configuration identifier for the user identifier, the configuration identifier being able to be used to carry out a configuration method.

15. A data processing installation, comprising:
-
a storage unit to store a user identifier denoting a user and a configuration identifier for the user identifier by a central method, the configuration identifier being usable in a configuration method to access application data read by the application program when the operating resource is used by the user; and
at least one processor, coupled to said storage unit, to access the user identifier denoting the user by the central method in response to at least one of use of and a request to use an operating resource having a function produced by an application program, to configure the operating resource by one of a central access type where the configuration method is carried out using the configuration identifier when the central method is carried out, and a local access type where at least one of the user identifier and an operating resource identifier denoting the operating resource are transmitted to a unit for the purpose of carrying out the configuration method by the unit and passing the at least one of the user identifier and the operating resource identifier to the central method.
