Using the RACFPERM EXEC

Note: RACFPERM is an EXEC and therefore can be entered directly. You do not have to explicitly enter an appropriate RAC command; this is done by the RACFPERM EXEC. If you have problems using the RACFPERM EXEC, see your security administrator.

Enter:

racfperm

and RACF® displays the following panel:


----------------------  PERMIT ACCESS TO DISKS OR READER  -------------------
 Enter the required data and press ENTER and then press PF2:

 
 RESOURCE          ===>           DISK ADDRESS (191, 192, ETC.) OR RDR 
 ACCESS AUTHORITY  ===>           DELETE   - TO REMOVE ACCESS AUTHORITY     
                                  NONE     - TO PREVENT A USER FROM ACCESSING
                                  READ     - TO ALLOW READ/ONLY ACCESS
                                  UPDATE   - TO ALLOW WRITE ACCESS
                                  CONTROL  - TO ALLOW MULTI-READ ACCESS 
                                  ALTER    - TO ALLOW MULTI-WRITE ACCESS
 Enter the userids and/or groupids whose access authority you want to change:

 USERIDS AND/OR GROUPIDS: 
 ===>             ===>             ===>             ===>

 ===>             ===>             ===>             ===>

Note: Press PF1 twice for online help.

On the panel, type in the following:

For the RESOURCE field, specify the virtual address of the minidisk you want to grant access to. For example, for your A-disk, specify 191.
For the ACCESS AUTHORITY field, specify the access authority you want to grant.
In the USERIDS AND/OR GROUPIDS fields, specify the user IDs or group IDs (group names) to which you want to grant access.

Press ENTER and PF2 to execute the request.

After RACF displays some messages related to the request, press PF4 to clear your terminal screen, then press PF3 to leave RACFPERM.

Note: The output of the RACFPERM EXEC is saved in the RACF DATA file until another RACF command is entered.
