I don't have RACF, so this may not work with it, but I use OPTION LNKNOPAS
in the directory entry for my homegrown CMS backup machine.

Are there any easy ways to configure RACF to let userid VMBACKUP LINK read-only to all current and future minidisks in order to back them up? Our current RACF setup doesn't let VMBACKUP link to minidisks of new userids; for each new userid we need to code new RACF auths in order to let VMBACKUP link the new user's minidisks. Would be more reliable and less work if we could just give VMBACKUP some sort of global RACF authority that lets VMBACKUP link every minidisk on the system. Likewise, any easy way to configure RACF to let userid VMBACKUP get a R/W LINK to restore to all current and future minidisks? .
