The tables in this section can help you determine if you have sufficient access authority to use the DFSMSdss commands. The access authority you need depends on what you are trying to do. For example:

• If the data set is SMS-managed and you have access to the data set, you have access to its user catalog.
• If you have ALTER access to the data set, you can copy and delete (or dump and delete) the data set.
• If the source data set is cataloged, you may need UPDATE or ALTER access to its catalog if the data set is going to be deleted, uncataloged, or cataloged.
• To replace an existing data set using the COPY or RESTORE command, you need UPDATE access to the data set.
• If you are doing a restore with rename, ALTER-access authority lets you create a new user or group data set. If the data set belongs to a group, CREATE authority in the group and UPDATE access to that group data set name also lets you create that group data set.
• To restore a data set, you need READ access to a data set with the same name as the one that was dumped. You also need either UPDATE or ALTER access to the target data set.
• If the target data set is going to be discretely protected, and you do not own the data set, you need additional authority to define a discrete profile. This is true even if you are acting as a DFSMSdss-authorized storage administrator for the COPY or RESTORE command.
• To copy or dump a master catalog, you need ALTER access if you are not acting as a DFSMSdss storage administrator. This level of access is needed because the master catalog may contain passwords.
• If you are acting as a DFSMSdss storage administrator, you have access to the applicable data sets and catalogs.
