Controlling System Access 

System access can be controlled by giving operator capabilities to
certain users, by controlling the system, by controlling job and session
execution, by starting sessions programmatically, and by controlling
access via system parameters.

Giving Users Operator Command Capabilities 

The syntax for giving one or more command capabilities to users is:

     ALLOW user.account;COMMANDS=command,... 

where user.account may contain wildcards or specific user IDs and command 
is an operator command capability that is to be given to a user.

Denying Users Operator Command Capabilities 

The syntax for disallowing command capabilities:

     DISALLOW user.account;COMMANDS=command,... 

where user.account may contain wildcards or specific user IDs and command 
is an operator command capability that is to be taken from a user.

Displaying Users Who Are Allowed Operator Commands 

The syntax for listing users with allowed operator command capabilities
is:

     SHOWALLOW user.account 

Letting Users Control Device Classes 

To let users control device classes, run the ASOCTBL.PUB.SYS utility.
The syntax is:

     RUN ASOCTBL.PUB.SYS

Letting Users Control Job Execution 

The syntax for letting users control the execution of jobs is:

     JOBSECURITY LOW

The LOW parameter allows all users the use of the ABORTJOB, ALTJOB,
BREAKJOB, and RESUMEJOB commands for their own jobs.

Denying Users Job Execution Control 

The syntax for denying users control over the execution of jobs is:

     JOBSECURITY HIGH

The HIGH parameter allows only the system operator use of the ABORTJOB,
ALTJOB, BREAKJOB, and RESUMEJOB commands.
