CA IDMS Internal Security

When an entry for a resource type in the SRTT specifies internal security, only users and groups who have been defined in the user catalog can be granted the privilege to access the resource. You grant privileges with the appropriate GRANT statements.

CA IDMS Internal Security Administration

You can delegate internal security administration by granting to selected users:

• Administration privileges
• The privilege to grant their privileges to other users

You perform CA IDMS internal security administration functions by issuing security authorization statements through the CA IDMS Command Facility. When you do this, CA IDMS does the following:

1. Accepts syntax that specifies the security administration request (for example, a CREATE USER statement).
2. Verifies that you, the issuer of the request, have the authority to issue the request.
3. Updates the data in the appropriate internal security repository.
