Securing Resources › Assigning Ownership

Assigning Ownership

Once you know that the resource class is defined to the RDT, the next step is to determine which ACIDs should have ownership of the individual resources within that class (provided that resource class is ownable). You accomplish this through the TSS ADDTO command.

All of the ACID types discussed in the “Identifying Users” chapter can own a resource, however, how you distribute resource ownership throughout the ACID hierarchy is very important. The next sections discuss:

• Ownership by individual ACIDs versus ownership by Department, Division, or Zone
• Using Generic Prefixing and Minidisk/Dataset Masking to minimize the number of TSS commands you need to enter.
