Issue/Introduction

Can the 'Panel' Resource Class be used to prevent access to specific ISPF panels?

Resolution

Although there is a predefined Resource Class called 'Panel', there are no security calls made for this Resource Class.

There are no applications that we are aware of that make security calls using this 'Panel' Resource Class.

TSO and ISPF do not make any 'Panel' Resource Class security calls. Any permissions written with this Resource Class would never be used, because a security call would not be made for it.
