Resources are defined to CA Top Secret either by their full name or through a generic prefix, which allows a group of similar resources to be defined to CA Top Secret simultaneously. For all resources (except DIAGNOSE), generic prefixing can be a useful tool for Security Administrators.
By entering the TSS command shown below, the Security Administrator authorizes USER99 to use any minidisk owned by MAINT.
TSS ADD(USER99) VMMDISK(MAINT.)
Usually, the minimum length permitted for a generic prefix is one character. However, minidisks and OS data sets have a two-character minimum length. Also, most resource classes have an eight-character maximum length for prefixes. Again, minidisks and data sets do not adhere to this standard: for minidisks, up to 13 characters may be used; for OS data sets, up to 26 characters may be used to designate the generic prefix.
CA Top Secret allows identical prefixes, as long as they are used with different resource types. For example, VMRDR(MAINT) and VMMD(MAINT) do not conflict.
