MODIFY Function Authority

Under z/VM, if the ACID issuing the TSS MODIFY command does not have the CONSOLE attribute, this message is displayed:

TSS0802A: Enter Password For Function

In response to message TSS0802A, enter the MSCA's previous password, or an ACID/password combination for an ACID which has CONSOLE authority.

In z/OS and z/VSE, CA Top Secret only processes MODIFY requests issued by ACIDs with the CONSOLE attribute.

Note: CONSOLE authority is not required to issue the MODIFY STATUS command. This command can be issued by any administrator type acid.
