ACID Resource Class—Secure ACIDS

Valid on z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM.

Use ACID to secure special Accessor IDs, such as those used to submit jobs.

When used with TSS PERMIT/REVOKE, this resource class has the following format:

TSS PERMIT(acid) ACID(acid)

acid

The acid being secured.

Length: 1 to 8 characters

Capacity: 1 to 5 ACIDs per command

ACID is used with:

• The commands PERMIT, REVOKE, ADMIN, DEADMIN, WHOOWNS, and WHOHAS
• The ACID types User, Profile, DCA, VCA, ZCA, LSCA, SCA, and MSCA
• ACID(XAUTH) authority to PERMIT or REVOKE ACIDs

The administrator can use Expiration, Facility, Program Pathing, Time/Day, and Actions methods to control the use of job submission ACIDs.

Examples: ACID resource class

This example permits USERA to submit a batch job with a USER= of USERB:

TSS PERMIT(USERA) ACID(USERB)

This example revokes USERA's ability to code USER=USERB on a job statement:

TSS REVOKE(USERA) ACID(USERB)
