Step 5: Create Rules Authorizations

Authorizations for the Rules Facility are explained and examples are shown in Authorizations for the Rules Facility. You should consult that chapter before performing this step. You do not have to create all rules authorizations now. At a minimum, you should give the MAINT user ID authority to use all commands until you are familiar with the Rules Facility.

To Create Rules Authorizations

1. Edit the AUTHORIZ CONFIG file by entering:

   vmsecure config authoriz
   

2. Add GRANT records to give user IDs the authorization they need to use the Rules Facility. For more information, see Suggested Commands to Use with the Rules Facility. For information about the GRANT record, see the Reference Guide.

   For example, to allow MAINT to use all features of the Rules Facility (and all CA VM:Secure commands as well), add the following GRANT record:

   GRANT * OVER *ALL TO MAINT
   

3. Save the changes and exit the file.
4. Continue to Step 6: Configure and Generate the CA VM:Secure CP Component.
