Controlled Access to Data and Resources

In an CA ACF2 for z/VM‑protected system, an individual, department, or group owns all data and resources. When data is owned, someone is responsible for it. Those who own data can access that data at any time. They can also allow others to use their data.

CA ACF2 for z/VM provides protection by default for all system and site‑defined resources. Controlled access to data means that only the owner of the data or a security administrator can allow access to the data. Security administrators can create, change, or delete CA ACF2 for z/VM records. They can also modify the protection parameters of resources. They decide when, under what conditions, and with whom they want to allow access to the data.
