IMOD User IDs

When an IMOD task is created, CA‑GSS assigns it a valid user ID and obtains an ACEE for it.

In most cases, the user ID is taken from the task that triggered the IMOD task. For example, a request from a TSO user (IMOD editor or SRVCALL() function) is assigned the TSO user ID.

In some cases, CA‑GSS cannot determine which user ID to use. For example, this can happen if a started task that has no user ID issues a WTO that, in turn, triggers an IMOD. In these cases, CA‑GSS assigns the CA‑GSS default user ID to the IMOD task.

Note: If no default user ID was defined at CA‑GSS initialization, the IMOD task executes under the scope of the primary user ID of the CA‑GSS address space.
