About Resource Rules

CA ACF2 for VM also provides protection for system resources. CA ACF2 for VM defines some of these resources, but you can also define your own resources. This protection is provided through resource rules that are similar to access rules, but belong in their own category. Resource rules are stored on the Infostorage database and have a storage class value of “R.”
