Administering Your Security Environment › MISC1 Authorities

MISC1 Authorities

There are currently 5 “degrees” of miscellaneous authorities: MISC1, MISC2, MISC3, MISC8, and MISC9. MISC1 authorities generally pertain to ACID access restrictions, such as LTIME, suspensions and RDT maintenance. The following keywords are used to indicate what type of MISC1 authority a security administrator has:

LCF(MVS only)

Allows the designated Security Administrator to assign LCF (Limited Command Facility) command and transaction restrictions.

Note: For more information about LCF, see the "Securing Resources" chapter.

LTIME

Allows the designated Security Administrator to maintain automatic terminal locktime intervals through the LTIME keyword. For example, the following allows the FINVCA to administer the following command for USER01 (provided USER01 is in FINVCA's scope of authority).

TSS ADMIN(FINVCA) MISC1(LTIME)

For example:

TSS ADD(USER01) LTIME(30)

This would cause USER01's terminal to automatically lock after a 30 minute interval of inactivity.

SUSPEND

Allows the designated Security Administrator to suspend and unsuspend ACIDs by using the SUSPEND keyword with the TSS ADD/REMOVE commands.

TSSSIM

(MVS and VSE only) Allows the designated Security Administrator to use the TSSSIM utility

NOATS

(MVS and VSE only) Allows the designated Security Administrator to prevent ACIDs (within his scope) from signing on through Automatic Terminal Signon (ATS). This applies to the CICS, IMS and CA IDMS facilities.

RDT

Allows the designated Security Administrator to maintain and list the RDT Record.

ALL

Allows the designated Security Administrator to perform all MISC1 type functions.
