Setting up Resource Definitions and Ownership › Default Resource Protection

Default Resource Protection

The RDT contains pre-defined resource classes. Each resource class is identified by a unique keyword, and has certain attributes associated with it.

CA Top Secret will not protect a resource it does not know about. To extend default protection to all resources pre-defined in the RDT, assign the DEFPROT attribute to the specific resource class. Each resource in the class has security protection even if it is not defined to CA Top Secret. A security violation occurs if a request is made to access the resource. (In FAIL MODE default protection exists for data sets and volumes only.)
