Configure XCF Administrative Data Utility Permissions

The IBM utility IXCMIAPU lets you add, update, delete, and list policy data on the Automatic Restart Management (ARM) couple data set. Use of this utility is restricted using a resource named MVSADMIN.XCF.ARM in the IBMFAC resource class. The ARM user must have UPDATE access to add, update, and delete policy data. The ARM user must also have READ access to produce reports.

This user is only used to update the z/OS ARM policy, which you need only perform once. The ARM user is not a CA Chorus user.
