Sensitive and Nonsensitive Commands
Sensitive and Nonsensitive Commands
A command’s classification depends on its impact on the subsystem and on the 
security required to use it. There are two types of programmatic NetBatch command:
•
Sensitive commands affect the configuration or state of objects and are usually 
available only to NetBatch supervisors (users with execute access to the 
NETBATCH program file). 
•
Nonsensitive commands do not affect the configuration or state of objects and are 
available to all users. 
Table 5-3 lists sensitive and nonsensitive programmatic NetBatch commands and 
summarizes their availability.
