DELETE Function—Delete an ACID

Valid on z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM.

Use the DELETE command function to remove an ACID's definition from the Security File.

CA Top Secret will not allow the deletion of:

• An ACID which has other ACIDs connected to it. Division, department, and/or profile ACIDs cannot be deleted if other ACIDs are connected to them. To delete a department or division ACID, use the TSS MOVE command function to transfer all ACIDs out of the department or division being deleted. To delete a profile ACID, use the TSS REMOVE command function to remove the profile from any connected user ACIDs.
• An ACID that owns resources permitted to other ACIDs.
• Special ACIDs such as ALL, STC, AUDIT, DLF, RDT, SDT, or the MSCA's ACID.

When an ACID is deleted, CA Top Secret:

• Disconnects the deleted ACID from all profiles it is connected to
• Revokes any access permissions that the ACID was granted
• Removes any resources that the ACID owns

Administrators must have ACID(CREATE|ALL) authority, via the ADMIN function, to delete ACIDs within their scope.

This command function has the following format:

TSS DELETE(acid)

acid

Specifies the ACID being deleted.
