Creating Security Administrators › Administrative Authority › MISC8 Authorities

MISC8 Authorities

This keyword allows administrators to list the RDT, FDT Started Task Table, and the SDT without being given the authority to maintain the them. This authority allows for a separation of responsibilities between viewing the tables and modifying them. MISC8 authority is also used to authorize use of the ASUSPEND keyword to remove administrative suspensions.

Example: MISC8 authority

This example gives the FINVCA security administrator the ability to administer Multiple Console System (MCS) commands.

TSS ADMIN(FINVCA) MISC8(MCS)
