Purpose

PREAUTHORIZATION is an CA Endevor/DB Security function which associates a user or CCID with one or more entity descriptor records in the CCDB. This association may serve any of the following purposes:

• To protect certain IDD entities from update by anyone other than preauthorized users or projects.
• To insure that certain users or projects only update specific preauthorized IDD entities.
• To restrict specific CCIDs so that only preauthorized users may sign on to them.
• To preregister identified IDD entities so that the Change Log Entries (CLEs) created when those entities are modified will be recorded against specific CCIDs.
• To restrict selected statuses so that only preauthorized users can associate those statuses with entities.

Refer to the CA Endevor/DB for CA IDMS Administrator Guide for more information on preauthorization.
