Granting privileges for binding plans

Binding requires additional privileges. You must have the required privileges to bind a plan.

About this task

Begin general-use programming interface information.Suppose that three programmers can share the tasks that are done by the DEVGROUP ID. Someone creates a test table, DEVGROUP.T1, in database DB1 and loads it with test data. Someone writes a program, PROGRAM1, to display bowling scores that are contained in T1. Someone must bind the plan and packages that accompany the program.

Binding requires an additional privilege. ADMIN, who has the SYSADM authority, grants the required privilege by issuing the following statement: 
GRANT BINDADD TO DEVGROUP;
End general-use programming interface information.

With that privilege, any member of the RACF® group DEVGROUP can bind plans and packages that are to be owned by DEVGROUP. Any member of the group can rebind a plan or package that is owned by DEVGROUP. The following diagram shows the BINDADD privilege granted to the group:

Begin figure description. Sample RACF group. End figure description.

The Software Support department proceeds to create and test the program.
