This example gives TSOADM1 ownership of a few TSO userids so he can control routing of messages to these userids:

TSS ADDTO(TSOADM1) SMESSAGE(TSOJOE1,TSU34A,ANYID)

This example removes ownership:

TSS REMOVE(TSOADM1) SMESSAGE(TSOJOE1,TSU34A,ANYID)

This example permits ACID CHATTY to send messages to userid TESTID:

TSS PERMIT(CHATTY) SMESSAGE(TESTID) ACCESS(READ)

This example stops routing of messages to userid NOBOTHER:

TSS PERMIT(ALL) SMESSAGE(NOBOTHER) ACCESS(NONE)
