Hmm good catch but it doesn't work.. I believe that's only for normal TSM dsmc client operations (i.e. backup/restore). If you don't specify that parameter the default behavior is all users can use TSM services. So by adding a name theoretically you limit who can use TSM services..
The problem with starting the TSM scheduler still fails even with the user id in there.. So far the only thing that's worked is sudo but as someone else pointed out, that's a security risk as it allows that user to then restore any file owned by root. Fortunately in our case that's not much of an issue as there are no normal users on this server nor is it accessible by anyone other then operations.

Otherwise it says "ANS1817E Schedule function can only be run by a TSM authorized user." I'm trying to write a script that gets run by a non-root user to start the scheduler. Is it possible to get around this limitation somehow? I've tried chmod 4755 on dsmc and even that won't work. Looking up ANS1817E in the messages guide doesn't yield any useful information either.
