The AutoSYNC Administrator
The authorizer is determined as follows:
•
If a user issues the AUTHORIZE command, it confers access authority to the
ASYSYNCP program using the PROGID facility. AUTHORIZE also designates the
administrator.
•
If no AUTHORIZE command has been issued, the user ID that issues the START
MONITOR command will start and confer authority to the ASYSYNCP program.
If the AUTHORIZE command is issued, any user can start the monitor process.
Otherwise, the authorizer must start the monitor after every system cold load.
The AutoSYNC Administrator
The AutoSYNC administrator is either the same as the authorizer or a user ID that is
trusted and has been designated by the authorizer.
The administrator controls who can be a user of AutoSYNC. When a AutoSYNC user
is added, the administrator can specify various options, including the maximum
process priority that can be used by the user. At any time, the administrator can alter,
delete, suspend, or activate a user.
The administrator is determined by the ownership and security of the SYNCUSER
table in the MapDB. Any user that can update this table is, de facto, an administrator.
The administrator uses the following commands:
•
ADD SYNCUSER
•
INFO SYNCUSER
•
ALTER SYNCUSER
•
DELETE SYNCUSER
•
SUSPEND SYNCUSER
•
ACTIVATE SYNCUSER
Caution. The AutoSYNC administrator can manipulate the AutoSYNC configuration to gain
access to files that may not be secured for access to the administrator user ID. Thus, the
AutoSYNC authorizer must exercise discretion when designating the administrator.
