Issue/Introduction

What is the best method in Top Secret to find ACIDs who are authorized to use TSO? Is there a way to list users that have a TSO segment?

Resolution

The best way is to find the ACIDs that have FAC(TSO) and FAC(ALL), (which includes TSO). You can do TSS WHOHAS FAC(TSO) and TSS WHOHAS FAC(ALL) to find these.

The TSO segment can be listed via: TSS LIST(acid) DATA(NAMES) SEGMENT(TSO) or TSS LIST(ACIDS) DATA(NAMES) SEGMENT(TSO) to list all ACIDs and just the TSO segment if there is one. 

- If the ACID has a TSO segment in Top Secret, signing on to TSO will use these fields.
- If the ACID doesn’t have a TSO segment in Top Secret, signing on to TSO will use the TSO information from SYS1.UADS.

If the ACID has FAC(TSO), no TSO segment on the ACID in Top Secret, but is defined in SYS1.UADS, this ACID can signon to TSO. That’s why finding the ACIDs that have FAC(TSO) and FAC(ALL) is the best way.
