Setting up Resource Definitions and Ownership › Resource Ownership › Transfer Resource Ownership

Transfer Resource Ownership

To transfer ownership of a resource or set of resources from one ACID to another. The UNDERCUT keyword is required because the security administrator is aware that the resource is already owned. Since CA Top Secret automatically transfers ownership of the specified resources from the former owner to the new owner, only the new owner is identified in the command.

Whenever ownership is transferred, CA Top Secret automatically gives full access authorization to the former owner (provided the former owner was a User or Profile ACID, and not a Zone, Division, or Department ACID).

Both the new and former owners must fall within the scope of the administrator.

Example: transfer ownership

This example transfers ownership of terminal TSON0001 from USER01 to USER02:

TSS ADDTO(USER02) TERMINAL(TSON0001)
                  UNDERCUT

This example transfers ownership of all IMSTEST programs from USER01 to USER02:

TSS ADDTO(USER02) PROGRAM(IMS)
                  UNDERCUT

The following command is now implied:

TSS PERMIT(USER01) PROGRAM(IMSTEST)
