Restricting Access by SMFID

You can control access to resources and facilities by specifying which SMFID the authorization applies to. This type of control lets you specify from which system a resource or facility can be accessed.

Access is restricted through the ADDTO or PERMIT command functions and the SYSID parameter. You can specify up to five SYSIDs on a command. The following example lets the user use the TSO facility, but only on the system that has an SMFID of TSO1.

TSS PER(USER03) FACILITY(TSO) SYSID(TSO1)

Note: The PERMIT will match only if the access is done on the specified system.
