Profiles

Profiles are occurrences in the AUTHORIZATION entity-type and begin with $DD-. At the installation of CA Datacom Datadictionary Security, five profiles are predefined:

The first four profiles are provided for compatibility with previous CA Datacom Datadictionary versions. These profiles provide the same functional levels of security available in previous versions. $DD-SEC-ADM is a special profile used to define the Security Administrator authority. For more information, see Profiles Provided with CA Datacom Datadictionary Security.

The PERSON entity-occurrences defined as having Security Administrator authority can use online and batch facilities. In addition, through security level 2 (SECLVL=0 - 2), no one has update authority against PROD status entity-occurrences unless specifically assigned that authority on an exception basis.

Other than the $DD-SEC-ADM profile, a profile (AUTHORIZATION entity-occurrence) alone is meaningless. It has to be related to facilities (SYSTEM entity-occurrences or entity-types (TABLE entity-occurrences) for security authorization to be enforced.

The Security Administrator defines and maintains profiles using either the batch or online maintenance facilities.
