GAP Keyword—Specify if a Profile is Globally Administered

Valid on z/OS and z/VM.

Use the GAP keyword to specify that a profile is, or will cease to be, globally administered.

Only an administrator with the same scope of authority as the administrator who CREATED the profile can assign the GAP attribute to that profile.

This keyword has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(profile acid) GAP

This keyword is used with:

• The commands CREATE, ADDTO, and REMOVE.
• The ACID type profile

Examples: GAP keyword

This example creates a profile ADMACT:

TSS CREATE(ADMACT) TYPE(PROFILE)
                   NAME('ACTPROJECT')
                   DEPARTMENT(ACCTD)

TSS PERMIT(ADMACT) DSNAME(*.ACCTS)
                   ACCESS(READ)

Since many users in several departments required access to profile ADMACT, the SCA decided to ADDTO the GAP attribute to the profile, allowing CA Top Secret administrators in all departments to administer the profile:

TSS ADDTO(ADMACT) GAP

This example removes Global Administration from a profile when no longer required:

TSS REMOVE(ADMACT) GAP
