A centralized security strategy

All IBM Z Workload Scheduler users are gathered in one area. They have at least a working knowledge of all the major functions of IBM Z Workload Scheduler. Because they share the same tasks, there is little need to divide authority.

The only outside IBM Z Workload Scheduler users are at the printer pool, where operators report progress on a print ready list. Machine room operators do not have IBM Z Workload Scheduler tasks; people in the IBM Z Workload Scheduler area perform reruns and JCL corrections themselves.

The following RACF® groups are defined:
Group
Contains
OPCGROUP
Most of the IBM Z Workload Scheduler users.
OPCSPEC
The manager, the two group leaders, the system programmers responsible for IBM Z Workload Scheduler, and their backups.
OPCPRINT
The users of the ready list at the printer pool.
