Defining who can create, modify, or delete DTCN profiles
Profile owners can always create, modify or delete their own profiles. However, you can define, through RACF® profiles, other users that can modify or delete any profiles. This might be useful, for example, if you want a system administrator to delete unused or obsolete profiles owned by a user that no longer has access to those profiles.
Only the security administrator of the z/OS® system can add or remove IDs to the RACF profiles. After you identify
the IDs of the users you want to have this access, do these steps:
- Establish the profile in the FACILITY class by entering the following
RDEFINE command:
RDEFINE FACILITY EQADTOOL.DTCNCHNGEANY UACC(NONE)
- Verify that generic profile checking is in effect for the class
FACILITY by entering the following command:
SETROPTS GENERIC(FACILITY)
- Give a user (for example, user DUSER1) permission to modify another
user's profiles by entering the following command:
Instead of connecting individual users, you can specify that DUSER1 be a RACF group profile and then connect authorized users to that group.PERMIT EQADTOOL.DTCNCHNGEANY CLASS(FACILITY) ID(DUSER1) ACCESS(UPDATE)
- If the FACILITY class is not active, activate the class by entering
the following command:
Enter theSETROPTS CLASSACT(FACILITY)
SETROPTS LIST
command to verify that the FACILITY class is active. - Refresh the FACILITY class by entering the following command:
SETROPTS RACLIST(FACILITY) REFRESH
