User Security

Hardware Interface Service provides the following resources for configuring the user security:

• Resources that enable you to authorize the users to access or alter specific entities in the topology model that the service provides
• A resource that enables you to authorize some users to use some restricted requests or facilities

The default resource class is CAHIS. If you plan to use this default, ensure that you define the class to your security product. Alternatively, you can use the HWISAFCL initialization parameter to specify an already defined class to use. Specify the parameter in the PARMLIB(SiHISPRM) member.

The resources can have an optional common user-defined prefix. Best practice states that this prefix contains a special character, for example, HI$RV. To specify the prefix, use the HWISAFPF initialization parameter. Specify the parameter in the PARMLIB(SiHISPRM) member.
