Access authorization requirements differ for SMS-managed data sets and non-SMS-managed data sets.

SMS-managed data sets:

Access to SMS-managed data sets gives you access to the user catalog for the data sets. However, for a RACF-protected master catalog, you also need UPDATE-access authority to add or delete an SMS-managed data set entry. DASDVOL-access authority is not supported for logical operations.

Non-SMS-managed data sets:

Besides access authority for data sets, you need UPDATE access to RACF-protected user or master catalogs to add or delete an entry in the catalog.
