We're RACF here. I have the PROTECTALL option on, so users cannot allocate a dataset that isn't covered by a RACF dataset rule.
I have a RACF rule for the master catalog with UACC(READ) and ALTER access for syadmins/sysprogs, CONTROL access to some system STCs, and UPDATE access to any other users that I may allow to use master catalog, such as housekeeping tasks etc. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Miklos Szigetvari Sent: 03 October 2008 10:26 To: [email protected] Subject: Simpless way to prevent arbitary HLQ's Hi Searching for the simples way to prevent the users to define dataset's in the MASTER catalog(s) -- Miklos Szigetvari ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
