The administrator can:

• Specify the access levels: ALL, DEFAULT, AUTOLOG, LOGON, GRPLOGON, SUROGATE, and NONE. If access in not specified, CA Top Secret defaults to NONE access.

Examples: VMMACH resource class

This example restricts the use of the virtual machine BATCH1, by assigning ownership of the Systems Department:

TSS ADDTO(SYSDEPT) VMMACH(BATCH1)

This example removes ownership:

TSS REMOVE(SYSDEPT) VMMACH(BATCH1)

This example permits a group of users in the Development Department to autolog the batch controller:

TSS PERMIT(PRODEV) VMMACH(BATCH1)
                   ACCESS(AUTOLOG)

This example revokes access to BATCH1:

TSS REVOKE(PROFDEV) VMMACH(BATCH1)
