Issue/Introduction
I cannot figure the syntax for GRANT and ENTRY.
I need to give a group of users the ability to change the default storage, max storage and the console statement.
ENTRY username CONSOLE .....
ENTRY username STORAGE .....
ENTRY username MAXSTORAGE ....
I tried this but got errors.
VMXLIE0268W Entry 'CONSOLE' does not exist.
VMXLIE0393I GRANT ENTRY CONSOLE OVER *TSTIDS TO *TST
Environment
Release : 3.2
Component : CA VM:Secure for z/VM
Resolution
Use GRANT ENTRY.
The GRANT for this is a bit odd but this is how you set it up for the ENTRY command and its subcommands:
GRANT ENTRY OVER *TSTIDS CONSOLE TO *TST
If you want to check the authorization with MAY it would look like this:
vmsecure may yv03 entry yvo2 console
VMXLSA0264I Accepted by:
GRANT ENTRY OVER *TSTIDS CONSOLE TO *TST
In this example, YV03 is in *TST and YVO2 is in *TSTIDS
Additional Information
GRANT AUTHORITY is doc'ed in VM:Secure's Reference guide at:
The CA VM:Secure GRANT AUTHORITY command syntax is identical to the syntax of the CMS GRANT AUTHORITY command.
For an explanation of all parameters and options for the GRANT AUTHORITY command, see the IBM CMS command reference documentation.
