Implementing Security with CA Top Secret › Job Submission › USERID Propagation

USERID Propagation

Establishing USERIDs to be associated with jobs when submitted by CA WA CA 7 Edition is a critical aspect of security. Defining the USERID hierarchy requires careful planning to verify that each job is submitted with the correct ID and therefore the proper security. If Requester (REQ) is specified in the SUBUID hierarchy, USERIDs are propagated to any jobs triggered by the original request. This method means that USERID propagation of a requesting ID occurs for the following conditions:

• The USERID of a user requesting work through the DEMAND, LOAD, or RUN commands.
• The USERID associated with a job that triggers any additional jobs.
• For data set triggers, the USERID associated with a job that CA WA CA 7 Editionsubmitted and created the data set.
• For data set triggers that are initiated through U7SVC and SASSBCLP, the USERID associated with the user posting the creation of the data set.
