USER System Option—Internal User Security

Use the USER system option to create the TLMSUTAB.

The TLMSUTAB table contains a list of userids and their access level. The userids are used by TLTPISPF when external security is not active (SECURE=NO). When external security is active, TLMSUTAB allows the user to bypass the DSN security calls. Users like librarians can access all datasets in the VMF without update access in the external security system for all datasets.

Important! Any user that is not defined in this table is automatically assigned the access that is specified in the last entry as a default. The access that is assigned in the last entry should always be ACCESS=I or ACCESS=N if security is active (INQACC=YES).

This option has the following format:

USER=userid PWD=password ACCESS=[N|I|U]
USER=userid

Specifies the userid.

Valid values: 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters

PWD=password

Specifies the password for this userid.

Valid values: 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters or blank. (Password must contain one alpha character.)

Default: blank

ACCESS=[N|I|U]

Specifies the access level for the userid.

Supply a maximum of 100 USER= statements.

Examples: User System Option

USER=JACK,PWD=MYPWD,ACCESS=U
USER=JILL,ACCESS=I
USER=DEFAULT,ACCESS=N
