The HFS permissions with which the ReportCenter directories and files are installed and created are intended to allow immediate and unrestricted use of the product. Do not alter any ReportCenter file permissions until the product has been operational for some time to understand its access requirements. In many organizations, changes to the default permissions is not required.
The HFSSECURITY Customizer parameter group can be updated to enable HFS user security. User security means that the security settings of an individual ReportCenter user's user ID, instead of the common task user IDs, are used for HFS access.
Enabling user security lets you implement specific authorization for individual users. You must do this for all users (although the authorization can be different for different users). You must set up appropriate access permissions for all ReportCenter files and OMVS definitions for all ReportCenter users. Do not consider using user security unless you have established a genuine need for this feature.
Important! Before you implement user-level security, you must have a high level of expertise in specifying UNIX file permissions, and a full understanding of ReportCenter operation and the ReportCenter HFS structure. HFS file permission settings affect whether a user can perform functions such as viewing, scheduling, and deleting reports.
You can also restrict access to certain reports to certain users through web portal software-workgroup implementations.
