Controlling access to Object Sets

By default, all users have can maintain Object Sets. To restrict maintenance to only the owner of Object Sets, use the OSAUTHCHK option in the installation options module. For backward compatibility, the default authorization setting gives all users open access to Object Sets.

The OSAUTHCHK=Y/N option in the installation options module controls whether to perform authorization checks. If OSAUTHCHK=N, users who run the product have access to all Object Sets. If OSAUTHCHK=Y, DASD MANAGER PLUS restricts access to Object Sets based on the following rules:

  • A user can access an Object Set when either of the following conditions exists:
    • The user is the owner of the Object Set.
    • The owner of the Object Set is PUBLIC or blank.
  • A user has the following characteristics:
    • Primary ID
    • Current SQLID

When you enter DASD MANAGER PLUS, your logon ID appears in the SQLID field on the main menu. If you change the field, DASD MANAGER PLUS issues an SQL SET CURRENT SQLID command to check your authorization to use the ID.
