You can issue the TESTAUTH command to test authorized assembler programs. By default, users cannot use this command. The users of the TESTAUTH command should be limited to system programmers who need to debug authorized exits, commands, or programs for your installation.

You grant users access to the TESTAUTH command using the RACF® RDEFINE and PERMIT commands, or by writing an exit routine for TESTAUTH.

You can use the RACF RDEFINE command to define TESTAUTH as a RACF resource belonging to the TSOAUTH RACF class. Then give selected users access to the TESTAUTH resource using the RACF PERMIT command.

For information about writing an exit routine to control access to TESTAUTH, see Customizing the TESTAUTH command.
