Lucymarie,
RACF questions are always best asked on the RACF-L. That is the forum for
RACF related questions.
(Sorry got distracted and posted stuff for TSO segment instead of OMVS
segment.)
Now to your specific question... Auditor (system level or group level)
gives the user the ability to list any RACF base segment within scope.
What it does not do is give the ability to view segments (OMVS, TSO, CICS,
etc...) outside the base.
To give your auditor the ability to list the content of the OMVS segment,
you would need to define FIELD USER.OMVS.*, and permit them to the
resource with READ. Sample commands (assumes you've never used FIELD):
SETROPTS GENERIC(FIELD) GENCMD(FIELD)
RDEF FIELD USER.OMVS.* UACC(NONE) OWNER( specify an owner here )
/* let users see their own OMVS segment */
PE USER.OMVS.* ID(&RACUID) ACCESS(READ)
/* let group "AUDITORS" view all users OMVS segments */
PE USER.OMVS.* ID(AUDITORS) ACCESS(READ)
SETROPTS CLASSACT(FIELD) RACLIST(FIELD)

RACF AUDITOR authority and OMVS segment
Hi. The "z/OS V1R10.0 RACF Security Server RACF Administrator's
Guide" says that "The user who has the AUDITOR attribute can list all
of the profile information that is available to the SPECIAL user, as well
as information that is available to auditors." In table 40 in the same
manual, it says that a userid with AUDITOR authority can also specify
all operands of the RACF LISTUSER command.
However, one of our user's with AUDITOR authority received a
message that she did not authority to view an OMVS segment when
issueing this:
LU user-id NORACF OMVS
Is this a bug, a feature, or just an anomaly that needs to be explained?
Anyone else noticed this?
