Granting privileges to payroll operations and management

The Spiffy security plan strongly suggests the functional approach for the payroll operations department.

About this task

The functional approach meets the security needs of the payroll operations for the following reasons:

  • Payroll operations members require several privileges, including the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE privileges on the PAYDEPT view.
  • Several members of the department require the same set of privileges.
  • If members of the department leave, others are hired or transferred to replace the departing members.

Therefore, the security plan calls for the creation of two RACF® groups, with one for the payroll operations and another for the payroll management.
