In CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 3 Release 1 you can use your external security manager to control user
access to views, menus, help information and the View Editor. In order to
do this you need to create an approptiate profile in the FACILITY class. The
following ESM FACILITY profiles are available:
- EYUWUI.wui_server_applid.VIEW.viewsetname
- -- used to protect view sets.
- EYUWUI.wui_server_applid.MENU.menuname
- -- used to protect menus
- EYUWUI.wui_server_applid.HELP.helpmembername
- -- used to protect help pages.
- EYUWUI.wui_server_applid.EDITOR.
- -- used to protect the View Editor..
where wui_server_applid is the CICS APPLID of the server.
Users can be given read or update access to views and menus:
- Read -- to use the views or menus in the main interface; that is
to allow you to prepare and protect views for specific user groups.
- Update -- to create, update or remove items in the view editor or
import using COVC; that is, allow you to open the view editor to more users,
while restricting the view-sets and menus that individuals can modify.
If the ESM that you are using, neither grants nor refuses access to a profile
(for example, if no RACF profile is defined), all users who are successfully
signed on to the Web User Interface have access to the resources. You can
make not authorized the default by setting up a generic profile.
Note:
This security is designed to protect the views and menus themselves
and not the objects they manage, which is covered by normal CICSPlex SM security.
