How to set the level of access
The level of access to Db2 objects, privileges, and administrative authorities is affected by the RACF MLS configuration option.
About this task
When the system is configured with the RACF MLS option not active, access to Db2 objects, privileges or administrative
authorities is allowed if the user or group requesting access is in
the access list of the RACF profile
protecting the object, privilege or authority with at least READ access.
If the system is configured with the RACF MLS
option active, any operation that performs a write operation (such
as UPDATE to a table) must have UPDATE authority (rather than READ).
Note: Use
of UPDATE access regardless of the configuration rather than READ
in one configuration and UPDATE in another has no effect on access
protection and eases administration.
