DEPARTMENT Keyword—Department ACID Assignment

Valid on z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM.

Use the DEPARTMENT keyword to:

• Assign a new ACID to a department
• List data about ACIDs in a department

When used with CREATE, this keyword has the following format:

TSS CREATE(user|profile|DCA acid) NAME('name')
                                  FACILITY(facname)
                                  PASSWORD(password)
                                  DEPARTMENT(acid)

Since a DCA can only create ACIDs in his own department, the new ACID is assigned to the DCA's department. CA Top Secret does not accept the DEPARTMENT keyword when entered by a DCA, even if the DCA specifies his own department ACID. The DEPARTMENT keyword is only required when the person entering the command is not a DCA.

When used with LIST, this keyword has the following format:

TSS LIST(ACID|ACIDS) DATA(datatype(s))
                     TYPE(USER|PROFILE|DCA)
                     DEPARTMENT(acid)

CA Top Secret only displays data concerning ACIDs within the administrator's scope. An MSCA or an authorized SCA could obtain LIST data for the entire site. A VCA may list data for his division and all subordinate departments. A DCA may not specify the DEPARTMENT keyword.

This keyword is used with:

• The commands LIST, MOVE, and CREATE
• The ACID types User, Profile, and DCA
