Let there is an administrator RACF id [ say XYZ] for MVS system. I want to give surrogate access authority to ABC id for XYZ id. How this can be done. What is the command.

Can I delete this surrogate access with "Rdelete" command.


Can above thins be done through CLAS. :?:

Hellp,

Talk with your security department.

What will be needed (if your organization permits) is new rules/permissions for the id(s) in question. In some sites a user may give others permission, but cannot take permissions. If your site permits, the "new" permissions will need to be added to the id being granted the additional access.

If your shop uses RACF, you can use the following commands as long as the USERID issuing the RACF commands has the SPECIAL attribute on their userid:

Code:

RDEF SURROGAT XYZ.SUBMIT UACC(NONE) OWNER(SYSADM)       
PE   XYZ.SUBMIT CLASS(SURROGAT) ID(ABC) ACCESS(READ)   
SETROPTS RACLIST (SURROGAT) REFRESH                     


This change will allow user ABC to submit batch jobs with a USER=XYZ in the job card.

Dick, thank you for your suggestion.
cpuhawg, thank you for giving solution.

I tried it another way also.
From VM, CLAS command, it can be done.
Options are,
option 2 then 9 then id XYZ , then option 3 "Add User IDs to the access list [ABC]",lets us add a single surrogate. Make sure you use that option and NOT 1.
