ACID Security › Defining New User ACIDs

Defining New User ACIDs

In general, User ACIDs are only used to designate specific employees within a department, and are therefore considered to be at the lowest level of the CA Top Secret organizational hierarchy. To define User ACIDs to CA Top Secret, a Security Administrator must specify the following keywords with the TSS CREATE command:

• NAME
• DEPT
• PASSWORD

TYPE(USER) does not have to be explicitly specified, since it is the system default. Below, is an example of how a new VM user might be defined:

TSS CREATE(USER01) NAME('ANDY PARKS') DEPT(COMPLAINT)
    PAS(INITIAL,7,EXPIRED) FAC(VM)

Note: In order for an administrator to define this user, he must have ACID(CREATE) authority and a scope that encompasses the specified department.
