Authorization for Operators

To designate a user ID as an operator, specify that user ID on a TAPEOPER record in the VMTAPE CONFIG file. Authorized CA VM:Tape operators can display drive and volume information with the CA VM:Tape QUERY command and receive all CA VM:Tape operator messages. Operators can also query outstanding requests and the status of any volume in the TMC. for more information about the TAPEOPER record, see TAPEOPER Record.

If you want to authorize a user ID to only operator tasks but not to receive operator messages, do not specify the user ID on the TAPEOPER record. Instead, give that user ID OPERATOR authorization on an AUTHORIZ record in the VMTAPE CONFIG file.
