Hi Lizette,

In z/OS 2.5, the security settings in ISFPRMxx are ignored and RACF alone 
governs security. You still need ISFPRMxx for display settings.

What we have found in our ISFPRMxx-to-RACF migration work is that, once you 
strip out the security parameters from all the ISFPRMxx groups, the remaining 
display parameters for all the SDSF group are almost always nearly identical. 
Unless you have a requirement to give different sets of users different sets of 
ISFPRMxx display settings which would necessitate defining multiple SDSF groups 
and corresponding RACF SDSF GROUP.groupid profiles, you could create a single 
SDSF group with a common, shared set of display parameters and give everyone 
access to it.

Also see our presentation on this topic.

P.S., Pay special attention to CONNECT statement parameter AUXSAF. See 
presentation above for details.

Dearest List

I am trying to understand the changes to SDSF in z/OS 2.5

I want RACF to control all access to functions in SDSF.  And I do not want
to have to code ISFPRMxx

Is there a way to have a minimal ISFPRMxx or do I have to add all GROUP
statements and RACF SDSF GROUP.** to make this work?

Thanks

Lizette
