Controlling Access Using SAF › Overview

Overview

External security can be used in lieu of internal security to provide access to commands, subcommands, job names, and resources.

SAF calls made for various CA SYSVIEW entities determine whether to permit access.

Review the following external security guidelines:

• CA SYSVIEW always selects internal security first.
• If internal security fails the access, external security cannot override the failed access by permitting access to the resource.
• To let external security have full control, set all internal security rules to allow access to all commands, job names, and resource.
• If SAF is unavailable, access is granted to only users in the ADMIN group while external security is not active.
