Controlling access to individual functions

Individual functions in Protected FM/IMS Functions are protected by the profiles FILEM.FUNCTION.fc, where fc is the function code. If you want to grant or deny some or all users access to individual functions in Protected FM/IMS Functions, you will need to define the profiles for these functions.

Enter the following RACF® command to define these profiles in the FACILITY class:
RDEFINE FACILITY FILEM.FUNCTION.fc UACC(READ or NONE)
Specify:
  • UACC(READ), if you want users or groups to be granted access to this function, unless they are specifically denied access
  • UACC(NONE), if you want users or groups to be denied access to this function, unless they are specifically granted access.

You use the PERMIT commands to grant or deny users and groups access to these function, in the same way as for the FILEM.IMS.UPDATE and FILEM.IMS.RDONLY profiles.
