Authorizations for Commands

ADMIN

Users can issue the CMS, DEBUG, TRACE, QLOCK, and QPCB commands.

ALLOCATE

User can use the ALLOCATE command to attach a tape drive to a another user ID and make the drive unavailable to CA VM:Tape.

Note: To allow this user to be able to use the FOR option on the ALLOCATE command to allocate tape drives for another user ID, both the MOUNTFOR and the ALLOCATE authorizations are required.

ASSIGN

Users can use the DSN parameter on the ASSIGN command to make non-CA VM:Tape-managed volumes available to their own user ID.

To allow a user to use the USER parameter on the ASSIGN command to change the owner of a saved volume, the TAPELIBR authorization is required.

BLPUSE

User can use the LABEL BLP option on the MOUNT command to prevent CA VM:Tape from reading the tape label.

OPERATOR

User can issue the following commands: ABEND, AUTOPICK, BLP, CANCEL, CMS, DRAIN, END, HSC, LIST, LMS, MIA, QUERY, REFRESH, REJECT, REPLY, RESUME, RMS, SDC, SETUP, STAM, START, and SUSPEND.

To make sure this user also receives messages from CA VM:Tape, specify the user ID on a TAPEOPER record in the VMTAPE CONFIG file. The CA VM:Tape service virtual machine and all user IDs listed on the TAPEOPER record automatically receive OPERATOR authorization.

SETUPOPR

User can use the SETUP command to control the status of the tape volume Setup facility and pending setup requests.

To make sure this user also receives messages from the Setup facility, specify the user ID on the SETUPOPR record in the VMTAPE CONFIG file.

TAPELIBR
