Defining resource names for administrative authorities

The RACF access control module builds the resource names for administrative authorities based on the classification model you selected.

About this task

For single-subsystem scope, the format for Db2 administrative authority resources is:

[object-name.]authority-name

For multiple-subsystem scope, the general format is:

Db2-subsystem.[object-name.]authority-name

or, if data sharing,

Db2-group-attachment-name.[object-name.]authority-name

For multiple-subsystem scope, the Db2 subsystem name or Db2 group attachment name is obtained from XAPLGPAT. The object name used depends on the Db2 administrative authority. See Db2 administrative authorities and object names.
