CHOWNURS—Allow CHOWN Command

Valid on z/OS.

Use the CHOWNURS control option to allow users to use the CHOWN function to change file ownership for files that they own.

To determine the currently active setting of CHOWNURS, issue a TSS MODIFY STATUS(BASE) command.

This control option uses the TSS MODIFY entry method.

This control option has the following format:

TSS MODIFY CHOWNURS(ON|OFF)

OFF: (Default) Prevents users from issuing a UNIX CHOWN command unless they are a superuser or have superuser authorization via external security permissions.
ON: Allows a user (that is not a superuser) to issue a CHOWN command to change the owner UID or GID for a file that currently is owned by the user.
