User Profiles Creation during Operating System installation

When the operating system is installed from IBM-supplied media OR SAVSYS, the user profiles that are created in stage 1 of the operating system installation are determined by a security program that runs and checks for the existence of a specific list of profiles. If the profile does not exist in this list, it is not created. It does not matter which profiles were saved with the SAVSYS. Therefore, a scratch install is performed (for example, a disaster recovery or a migration to a different system) and there are objects in QSYS that are owned by a profile other than the specific set of profiles listed in the security program, they will end up being owned by QDFTOWN.
The profiles that are currently created when the operating system is installed are listed, in order, below:
