This example restricts ACIDs belonging to the PROCDEPT so that they can only initiate a Transaction Program (TP) from LU01:

TSS ADDTO(PROCDEPT) APPCPORT(LU01)

The administration may now PERMIT access to users or profiles that require access.

This example removes ownership:

TSS REMOVE(PROCDEPT) APPCPORT(LU01)

This example permits users with the Technical Services Profile to access LU01 on Fridays only:

TSS PERMIT(TECHPROF) APPCPORT(LU01) DAYS(FRIDAY)
