Using Concurrent Security Modes

Security modes can be assigned implicitly-through the MODE control option and FACILITY suboptions-or explicitly-through the TSS PERMIT command.

When the security mode is set through a control option, that mode applies to the entire installation or, in the case of the FACILITY/MODE suboption (discussed in the next section) to a specific facility (such as TSO or VM).

For example, the following uses the MODE control option to place the entire installation in WARN mode.

MODE(WARN)

While the following example tells CA Top Secret to treat the VM production facility as though it was in IMPL mode.

FAC(VMPROD=MODE=IMPL)

When the TSS PERMIT command is used, the Security Administrator can assign a specific security mode to a particular user or profile ACID. For example, the following places USER01 in WARN mode, regardless of what mode the rest of your site is in.

TSS PER(USER01) MODE(WARN)
