Two ~humans~ can use the same ID. But RACF cannot prohibit that, for RACF can never know it.
For most purposes the security folks should prohibit it, if they're allowed to. But I suppose there may be cases where it's not the worst thing in the world...very ~rare~ cases. --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* If you wish information and improvement from the knowledge of others, and yet at the same time express yourself as firmly fix'd in your present opinions, modest, sensible men, who do not love disputation, will probably leave you undisturbed in the possession of your error. -Benjamin Franklin, autobiography */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Paul Gilmartin Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2022 16:48 RACF should prohibit that. That's what group IDs are for. That's what BPX.SUPERUSER is for. What if two different users had the same TSO ID? (It's done; security admins [should] disparage it.) --- On Wed, 16 Feb 2022 21:25:23 +0000, Seymour J Metz wrote: >It would definitely be more fun if two different users had the same UID. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
