Controlling Access Using SAF › SAF Entity Types › USER—Control Job Access Based on User ID

USER—Control Job Access Based on User ID

The USER entity controls access to jobs based on the user ID value for the job.

If the USER entity checks allow access, then all other job name checks are skipped. The USER entity is the first check when a SAF job name (JOBN) call is made.

The USER entity has the following format:

SV.USER.system.qualifier.userid

system

Specifies the SMF system ID.

qualifier

Specifies the JES subsystem name.

user

Specifies the user ID for the job.

Optionally, you can include actions with the USER entity.

The USER entity with an action has the following format:

SV.USER.system.qualifier.userid.AC.action

action

Specifies the action taken against the job.

The actions and access required are the same as the ones listed previously for job names.

Note: See the section on the CHKA entity for information about including actions with the USER entity.
