Granting Authorization to a Command or Utility

Before you grant authority to users to use a command or utility, you need to know what authorizations CA VM:Director requires to perform different functions.

The table Authorization to Use CA VM:Director Commands and Utilities lists the authorizations a user must have to issue each CA VM:Director command, menu selection, and utility. When you find the command or utility to which you want to grant authority, specify the appropriate authorization on a GRANT record.

Examples:

You want to let CARLAT use the ADMIN command and all of its parameters. Do this by specifying the ADMIN command’s authorization, ADMIN, on a GRANT record in the AUTHORIZ CONFIG file:

GRANT ADMIN TO CARLAT

To let OPERATOR use the ABEND command, use this GRANT record:

GRANT ABEND TO OPERATOR
