When you create a linkage to a z/VM system, the AUTHORITY parameter specifies the authority level the user has when issuing commands through the linkage. For a cross-system command directed to a z/VM system, the authority level of the user is compared to the authority level required for the command. If the user has an insufficient authority level, the command is rejected.
The authority required to issue a cross-system CA MIM command depends on whether the command is privileged. Non-privileged commands (such as DISPLAY) require no special authority. Users can issue this type of command through linkages with any authority. Privileged, or control, commands (such as SETOPTION) require system control authority.
The LINKAUTH MIM file on the target system determines the authority level required to issue cross-system CP commands. You use this file to map CP commands to the LINK authority levels. This file includes a list of the CP commands that can be issued from other systems, and the LINK authority level required to issue each command.
