Before you begin:
  • Make sure the LISTUSER command issuer does not have READ access to the IRR.LISTUSER resource in the FACILITY class.
  • Ensure that list-of-groups-checking (SETROPTS GRPLIST) is enabled.
Perform the following steps to authorize a general user to list user information in selected user profiles based on the scope of a group tree.
  1. Define the following generic profiles in the FACILITY class, if not already defined. Doing so ensures that an existing generic profile does not inadvertently prevent you from successfully limiting this authority.
    Example:
    RDEFINE FACILITY IRR.LISTUSER.**   UACC(NONE)
    RDEFINE FACILITY IRR.LU.**         UACC(NONE)
    RDEFINE FACILITY IRR.LU.EXCLUDE.** UACC(READ)
  2. Define a profile to protect the IRR.LU.TREE.owner resource in the FACILITY class, where owner is the group that is at the top of a group tree.
    Example:
    RDEFINE FACILITY IRR.LU.TREE.GROUP1 UACC(NONE)
       AUDIT(FAILURES(NONE) SUCCESSES(READ))

    ______________________________________________________________________

  3. Authorize the general users or groups.
    Example:
    PERMIT IRR.LU.TREE.GROUP1 CLASS(FACILITY) ID(HELPDESK USER19) ACCESS(READ) 

    ______________________________________________________________________

  4. Activate the FACILITY class if not already active.
    Example:
    SETROPTS CLASSACT(FACILITY) 
    If the FACILITY class is already active and RACLISTed, refresh the FACILITY class profiles.
    SETROPTS RACLIST(FACILITY) REFRESH

    ______________________________________________________________________

You have now authorized a general user or group to list the base segment of user profiles for selected users, including protected users, and excluding users with the SPECIAL, OPERATION, or AUDITOR attribute, based on the scope of a group tree.
