Resolution

Command authorization classes control which commands and functions users are authorized to use. Note that You can assign different classes to different users.

To modify a command authorization class, follow the instructions found in the tech doc link below:

How to Set Command Authorization Classes

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- System level options are overridden by profile level options which in turn are overridden by user level options.

- If expecting that the command class is being set at the profile level, verify that there is not a blank value at the user level.

- If expecting that the command class is being set at the system level, verify that there is not a blank value at the user level or profile level.

- A blank will be interpreted as a command class of ' ', but none can be defined so the user will not be authorized for any commands.

- Profile level user options including command class are determined by the first profile assigned to the user. Check if the user's first profile has a blank in PIDXPRSV Command Class.

- Delete a blank value online with EOF, or by using TPX batch:

• For profile level command class value: UPDATE TPX PROFILE ( profname ( PIDXPRSV (_)))
   
• For user level command class value: UPDATE TPX USER ( userid ( UIDXPRSV (_)))
