Benefits of the Compliance Report

There is no complete equivalent to the Administrative Authority by Resource report in base CA Top Secret product. The closest equivalent is the TSS WHOOWNS command, which displays the user or profile that can perform administration through ownership on the best-fit owned resource entity. However, this command does not list users that have administrative authority for the resource through special attributes or through administrative scope. It does not list users or profiles that have administrative access through owned resources other than the best-fit resource entity. For profiles that have administrative authority, it does not list the users who have administrative authority because they are connected to the profile. Some of this information can be obtained from other TSS commands, but running these commands would be a long manual process.

Advantages of the report include:

• In a multiple system image environment, the report can be run for more than one system image. To obtain the same information using TSS commands, each command must be issued for every system image, and the information correlated manually.
• In a single process, you can obtain all users who can perform administration for the resource for any reason, a process that would be tedious, difficult, and possibly incomplete using TSS commands.
• The report can be customized to return the depth of information desired.
