The ALL Record

The ALL Record is used to record all access requirements which are effective for all users, both defined and undefined to CA Top Secret. The ALL Record is a powerful implementation tool that allows you to protect and define resources, but still allow undefined users to access those resources at a specific level as defined to the ALL Record during a phased implementation.

Your Security File design for FAIL mode, when all users are defined to CA Top Secret, indicates limited use of the ALL Record. Only truly global requirements are defined to the ALL Record. For example, the system disks required for CMS and commonly used CP commands, such as QUERY and BEGIN.
