VMUSER Keyword—User Authority

Valid on z/VM.

Use the VMUSER keyword to limit specific user IDs to the range of authority being permitted. This is only valid with CP commands and diagnose codes.

Note: The VMUSER keyword is invalid for the REVOKE command. To REVOKE a PERMIT containing a VMUSER, REVOKE access for the CPCMD or diagnose without using the VMUSER keyword. To change the VMUSER data on a PERMIT, REVOKE access without using the VMUSER keyword, and then REVOKE the PERMIT with the new VMUSER data.

This keyword has the following format:

TSS PERMIT(acid) CPCMD(prefix(s))
                 VMUSER(userid,...)

Example: VMUSER keyword

This example permits a Systems Programmer to use the spooling command CHANGE for files belonging to USER01:

TSS PERMIT(SYSPROG) CPCMD(CHANGE)
                    VMUSER(USER01)
