Making Resources Globally Accessible

Certain types of CP commands and minidisks can be made available to all users. Access to these resources is best defined to CA Top Secret on a global basis through the TSS PERMIT(ALL) function. For example, the following makes the MAINT 0190 disk (usually the CMS system disk) available to all users for READ access.

TSS PERMIT(ALL) VMMD(MAINT.0190) ACCESS(READ)

Of course, this minidisk must already be owned by someone. Remember, also, that the PERMIT(ALL) function applies to both defined and undefined users.

All the standard access restrictions (such as ACCESS, FACILITY, TIME, etc.) are available for use with globally accessible resources.

Typical access restrictions to common resources: Some typical access restrictions are indicated in the following list of representative candidates for being designated as globally accessible resources:

• CMS system disks
• CMS help disks
