Authorization Exit Programs

A user-written exit can provide an additional layer of authorization to the use of any commands in CA Ideal. When you enter a command, CA Ideal's internal authorization service checks the site option table for the authorization level, for the function, and for the presence of a user exit. If an exit is found, it is called, and the result of CA Ideal's check is passed to the exit.

You must write an authorization exit program following the rules for
non-Ideal subprograms (described in the Creating Programs Guide and with the CALL statement in the Programming Reference Guide).
