Issue/Introduction

Is the order of adding GROUPs to an acid important like order PROFILEs on an acid?

PROFILES are search by the order they are on an acid.

Is the ordering of GROUPs on an acid also important or it doesnt matter?

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : CA Top Secret for z/OS

Resolution

PROFILEs are searched in the order they are added. When a match is found, the search stops so the rest of the PROFILEs are not searched.

GROUPS are handled differently. All GROUPs attached to the user is searched/read unlike PROFILEs.
