Securing CA IDMS SASO Documents

You can secure specific CA IDMS SASO documents by:

• Defining CA IDMS security resources for document browse and update activity

  Note: When creating an activity resource for CA IDMS SASO using CA IDMS internal or external security, the application name for the activity resource should be the CA IDMS SASO document name or dbname. These activity resources should be assigned to the user authorized to browse or update these activities.

• Using the online Document Security utility to assign activity number(s) to the document for browse, update, or both
• Granting execution privileges to a user or group for access to the document for browse, update, or both.

Security checking is performed at CA IDMS SASO runtime. Task-level security is verified first, followed by document access authorizations. The signed-on user can access only those documents to which they have been granted execution privilege to access in browse or update mode online.

For detailed information on defining document security in CA IDMS SASO, access the Document Security Utility (D.0) and refer to the online documentation.
