Planning security

This topic describes the security considerations for the Advanced Allocation Management Monitoring Agent and provides instructions for setting up security for Take Action commands.

Access to the Advanced Allocation Management workspaces and authority to perform various functions with the product are controlled through password validation. Administrative users of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal can set permissions for specific product features.

For more information about user administration, see the IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring Administrator's Guide at IBM Tivoli Monitoring Administrator's Guide.

Advanced Allocation Management does not provide user-based security with respect to the z/OS information that it displays. All users of the product have access to the same z/OS reports. If you configure forwarding of Take Action commands to NetView® on z/OS, then NetView performs user authorization and command execution. Otherwise, all users have the same Take Action command authority.
