SAFAT

Syntax

SAFAT groupname,
      DATASET=dsname,
      ACCESS= NONE | READ | UPDT

Description

This parameter defines resource access tables to be used by the internal SAF interface. Some examples can be found in the "Customization" chapter, in the Implementing Security with SAF section.

SAFAT Parameters

This section describes the SAFAT parameters.

Groupname

This parameter is used to group a number of SAFAT statements. Note that all SAFAT statements with the same group name are considered to be one access table; the access tables are referred to in the SAFUID statements. There is no default value.

DATASET=dsname

The DATASET statement names the resource; the format must follow standard MVS data set naming conventions.

The data set name does not refer to a real data set. It is a symbolic name, which gives access to resources in CA Spool. The names, which are checked, can be found in the "Customization" chapter, in the Implementing Security with SAF section.

Note: When a check is made for a data set name and more than one definition matches, the least generic definition is used.

The following generic symbols can be used when naming the data sets:

&

User ID of the user trying to access a resource is inserted instead of the &.

%

Any character matches a %.

*

The rest of the qualifier matches.

**

The rest of the resource name matches.

There is no default value.

ACCESS= NONE | READ | UPDT

This parameter defines the level of access given by the SAFAT statement. There is no default value.
