RACF to CA Top Secret Translation › CLASS

CLASS

In RACF, with the exception of DATASET, USER, and GROUP classes, the entries in the class descriptor table (CDT) represent all resource classes for both z/OS and z/VM. The CDT consists of two modules: one is for IBM‑supplied entries, the other is for installation‑defined entries.

In CA Top Secret, all resources for both z/VM and z/OS are defined in the Resource Descriptor Table (RDT). Resources are predefined by CA Top Secret or dynamically defined by the particular installation.
