Planning security

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

For more information about user administration, see the IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring Administrator's Guide at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/tivoli-monitoring/6.3.0.2?topic=2-administrators-guide.

Advanced Audit for DFSMShsm 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.
