Fix Recommendation

The ISSO must ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to BMC CONTROL-D User data sets are limited to systems programmers and BMC STCs and/or batch users. Additionally, UPDATE access can be given to centralized and decentralized security personnel, and BMC users. READ access can be given to auditors.

The installing systems programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have WRITE and/or greater access and if required that all WRITE and/or greater access is logged. The installing systems programmer will identify if any additional groups have WRITE and/or greater access for specific data sets, and once documented will work with the ISSO to ensure they are properly restricted to the Access Control Program (ACP) active on the system.

(Note: The data sets and/or data set prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual data sets and/or prefixes are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product's installation guide and can be site specific.)

Data sets to be protected will be:
SYS3.IOA.*.CTDR.
CTRUSR.
CTDSRV.
CTDJB1.

The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing data set controls:

TSS PERMIT(syspaudt) DSN(SYS3.IOA.*.CTDR.) ACCESS(ALL)
