Controlling access to individual IMS™ subsystems by the update or read-only functions

Access to individual IMS™ subsystems by the update functions in Protected FM/IMS Functions is protected by the profiles FILEM.IMS.UPDATE.ssid, where ssid is the IMS™ subsystem ID. Access to individual IMS™ subsystems by the read-only functions in Protected FM/IMS Functions is protected by the profiles FILEM.IMS.RDONLY.ssid, where ssid is the IMS™ subsystem ID.

If you want to grant or deny some or all users access to individual IMS™ subsystems by the update or read-only functions in Protected FM/IMS Functions, you will need to define the aforementioned profiles.

Enter the following RACF® commands to define these profiles in the FACILITY class:
RDEFINE FACILITY FILEM.IMS.UPDATE.ssid UACC(READ or NONE)
RDEFINE FACILITY FILEM.IMS.RDONLY.ssid UACC(READ or NONE)

Specify:

  • UACC(READ), if you want users or groups to be granted access to these resources, unless they are specifically denied access
  • UACC(NONE), if you want users or groups to be denied access to these resources, unless they are specifically granted access.

You use the PERMIT commands to grant or deny users and groups access to these resources, in the same way as for the FILEM.IMS.UPDATE and FILEM.IMS.RDONLY profiles described in Controlling access to the update or read-only functions.
