Issue/Introduction

How to find the corresponding resource name for a Vantage object which is checked within the security system to allow or reject access to this object ?

If you are using pseudo-dataset names to control access to Vantage objects and have coded a generic profile SYSSSM.** with UACC=NONE to stop unauthorized users using the objects, then you need to code specific resource codes to authorize certain users to access certain objects. E.g. you need to code SYSSSM.FUNC.D for the DATASETS ONLINE objects.

 

Resolution

For a complete list see Table "Resource Names (or Pseudo-Data Sets) Associated with Objects Table" in the Vantage Reference Guide.

For a specific Vantage object you can find the corresponding resource name as follows:

1. See footer bar of the related view to obtain the object name.
2. Run view "Object Definitions" under "Vantage Internal Management"
    => "Analysis Tools" => "Dictionary" with a filter of the object name.
    The field SecResName displays the resource name.
