Defining applications as RACF users

z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide
SA23-2289-00

Each application, such as a server, must be defined as a RACF® user, if not already defined. The application might run as a job or a started procedure. If the application executes as a batch job, define the RACF user ID associated with the batch job. If the application executes as a started procedure, assign a RACF user ID using one of the following methods:
  • Add the procedure name as an entry in the STARTED class. (This is the preferred method.)
  • Add the procedure name in the RACF started procedure table (ICHRIN03), unless this table has already been modified by your installation to contain a generic entry.

Guideline: Assign the PROTECTED attribute to the user IDs that you associate with applications. For more information, see Assigning RACF user IDs to started procedures.
