User types Users authorized to change the way the system behaves are often called operators . Users who need to concern the system, but do not operate it, are sometimes called audience . For example, when a driver car operator uses the horn to warn a pedestrian, then the driver is the horn operator and the pedestrian is the audience. ref http ergolight sw.com CHI Company Articles Alarm Reliability.pdf Harel 2006 .

Disputed date September 2009 Unreferenced date September 2009 A user exit is a subroutine invoked by a software package for a predefined event in the execution of the package. Clients of the package can substitute their own subroutines in place of the default ones provided by the package vendor to provide customized functionality. A typical use is replacing the user exits provided by a sorting algorithm sort merge package, whereby the user program provides its own subroutines for comparing records. The procedures provided by the user take the place of the default routines usually stubs that do nothing but return statement return to their caller provided by the package vendor. Procedures provided as user exits are typically compiler compiled into a static library and Linker computing linked directly with the package to produce an executable executable program . Another approach employs dynamic library dynamic libraries to accomplish the same thing. If the user site specific code is substituted for the software vendor provided default exit it must interface to the software package using the defined parameters as documented for the default exit. User exits are important because while they enable site specific customization they isolate such installation specific customization to defined and supported points enabling the site to upgrade to follow on releases of the software package without adverse impact to preexisting customized functionality. Some references to IBM user exit manuals are given below. Other vendors such as SAP, Oracle, HP, Macro4, Compuware, CA all employ user exits in some of their software products.
