Command Functions › ADDTO Function—Add Resource Ownership and Attributes › Resource Ownership

Resource Ownership

Resource ownership means that the user, profile, or control ACID has an access level of ALL. To avoid granting unlimited access to individual users or profiles:

• Use the ADDTO command function to assign resource ownership to department or division ACIDs
• Use the PERMIT command function to authorize full or restricted resource access for other ACIDs (non‑owners)

If the resource is:

• New (undefined), the ADDTO command function defines the resource by assigning ownership to the ACID specified in the command function
• Owned by another ACID, the ADDTO command function transfers ownership to the ACID specified in the command function and permits the old owner full access to the resource

To permit access to all owned resources within a NOMASK resource class use the special resource name:

*ALL*

To permit resource classes with the MASK attribute use the resource name:

????

Examples: resource ownership

This example defines the resource by assigning ownership to the ACID:

TSS ADDTO(ACID1) DSNAME(USER)

This example transfers ownership of data set USER01 from ACID1 to ACID2:

TSS ADDTO(ACID2) DSNAME(USER01)
                 UNDERCUT

This example prevents automatic permission with the NOPERMIT keyword:

TSS ADDTO(ACID2) DSNAME(USER)
                 UNDERCUT
                 NOPERMIT
