Securing CA IDMS SASO Document Chapters

You can secure specific chapters of any CA IDMS SASO document by:

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

  Note: When creating an activity resource for CA IDMS SASO using 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 Chapter Security in a Chapter List, to assign activity number(s) to the chapter for browse, update, or both
• Granting execution privileges to a user or group for access to the chapter(s) 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. Chapter security is verified when the signed-on user attempts to browse a chapter or select a chapter for utility functions. The user is able to access only those chapters for which they have been granted access privileges in browse or update mode online.

For detailed information on defining document security in CA IDMS SASO, access Chapter Security and refer to the online documentation.
