Your MVS™ system programmer can require operators to log on to and log off from MCS-managed consoles by specifying options in the CONSOLxx member of the SYS1.PARMLIB data set. When the CONSOLE class is active and a console being used is protected by a profile in the CONSOLE class, RACF® ensures that the person attempting to LOGON has the proper authority to do so.

For information about controlling access to MCS consoles, see Protecting consoles.
