    ****************************************************************
    IMS Administration Tool supports access control using Resource
    Access Control Facility (RACF) or a System Authorization
    Facility (SAF) product that is compatible with RACF.
    When ATYADMIN.SETUP profile is not defined, IMS Administration
    Tool erroneously detects insufficient access authority and
    issues the message 'You do not have the authority to change
    settings with Setup and Administration.'.
    

Problem conclusion

  • IMS Administration Tool has been modified as follows:
     - Fixed an issue where users received an "Insufficient access
       authority is detected" error when the ATYADMIN.SETUP facility
       class was not defined, even though this facility class is
       optional.
     - Changed the ATYADMIN.ACCESS facility class from required to
       optional so that users can choose whether to enable security
       for IMS Administration Tool access.
