Managing Cross-System Command Traffic › Setting the Cross-System Command Authority Level › Authority for z/OS Linkages

Authority for z/OS Linkages

When you create a linkage to a z/OS system from either a z/OS or a z/VM system, the AUTHORITY parameter on the LINK command specifies the authority level of the target console on z/OS where commands will be executed; therefore, cross-system commands are restricted by the authority level of the target console.

For more information on z/OS target consoles, see the CA MIC Message Sharing for z/OS Systems Programming Guide.
