Security for ASF tables

CA OLQ secures ASF tables regardless of the status of CA OLQ security. To ensure table security, we recommend the following:

Passkeys:

CA OLQ has automatic security for ASF tables. When a user tries to access a table, CA OLQ uses catalog security to make sure the user has proper authority assigned through passkeys.

The table functions and the passkeys required by the Automatic System Facility (ASF) are presented in Table 10. Passkeys affect ASF tables and reports.

A user default passkey is a passkey given to a user that allows the user to perform a specific function on any ASF table.

A data access passkey is a passkey associated with a specific table. It allows a specific user to perform a function on a specific table.

In addition to supporting passkey security, OLQ supports row-level security.

Note: For more information about row-level security, see the CA IDMS Performance Monitor System Administration Guide.
