Hi,

I have a query on security level while coding Maps.

I have a real time scenario where I need to restrict the display of CICS map basing on User/admin security level. How do I set this through BMS Macros.

Radhika.

the solution to the requirement must be discussed with the security support of Your organization

we do not know the rules, standards, practices of Your organization, they do.

anyway it is considered a bad practice to setup homemade security controls

Hi Radhika

How your system will identify the user whether the user is admin/user(May be normal user without any extra privilege). Anyway in my knowledge the BMS will not support this kind of a scenario. You have to take care it through the program.

Once upon a time - yes.

Currently, it is far better to control this via external security (i.e. RACF, ACF2, TSS).
