APAR status

  • Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

  • It is possible for a user to run a job with the "restRunDSJob"
    REST API, but fail to perform other tasks with other APIs, like
    "getDSJobStatus" .
    
    This is because the restRunDSJob does not
    check for permissions regarding a user role.
    
    The behavior of
    all REST APIs should be consistent
    

Local fix

  • No local fix
    
    However, setting a user's role to administrator
    would bypass all such API checks and would make them all
    succeed.
    

Problem summary

  • Added userRoleCheck for the REST-APIs: compileDSJob & runDSJob.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
