The Auditor

CA Top Secret does not distinguish between an auditor and any other type of security administrator. Auditors are defined by the functions they perform and the types of administrative authorities they are given.

An auditor’s scope is a function of the TYPE designated when its ACID was created.

Example: create an Auditor

This example defines a divisional auditor as a VCA whose password does not expire:

TSS CREATE(AUDV) NAME(‘Harry Hesse’)
                 TYPE(VCA)
                 PASSWORD(BEST,0) 
                 DIVISION(FINDIV)
TSS ADMIN(AUDV) ACID(AUDIT,REPORT)
                DATA(ALL,PROFILE)
                RESOURCE(INFO,REPORT)
                MISC8(LISTRDT,LISTSTC,LISTSDT),
                MISC9(GENERIC)
