Security User Exit: SARSECUX

Use user exit SARSECUX to determine whether a user or job is authorized to access, update, or delete data within the CA View database.

SARSECUX is invoked for each individual entry that is being accessed, updated, or deleted. The Security Parameter List (mapped by the SARCPL macro) is passed to the exit. The list contains information about the authorization request such as the function being performed and the data being accessed.

Based on this information, access to the data can be granted, denied, or the product can be allowed to determine accessibility to the data. If the product is permitted to determine accessibility to the data, internal or external security can be performed based on the setting of the SECURITY initialization parameter.

For online retrieval, SARSECUX is invoked:

• For each entry to be displayed in a selection list
• When an entry in the selection list is selected for processing

For batch retrieval, SARSECUX is invoked:

• For each entry to be listed as a result of the LIST function
• When a SYSOUT group is selected for processing

For CA DRAS, SARSECUX is invoked:

• For each entry to be presented in a list
• When an entry in the list is selected for processing

CA View also provides security at the report level through user modes and private report viewing.
