when I use //PDSDD DD DSN=my.pds... to refer to PDS with stored macro I receive an error:

I think it should be some setting in The Options Table (EZTPOPT) that means I can't do it without administrator's authorities.

The options table (EZTPOPT) provides the basic parameters that control
CA-Easytrieve/Plus operation. This appendix lists them in alphabetical order.
Space is provided for you to note the options which were selected at system
installation.
The PARM statement provides the ability to temporarily override some of your
system's standard options. The PARM statement and its parameters alter the
program environment only as long as the program is running. For more
information on customizing your program's environment, refer to the PARM
Statement in Chapter 4, “Environment Definition.”

MAC#LIB=n
Specifies the number of CA-Panvalet or CA-Librarian libraries to be searched if
the CA-Panvalet or CA-Librarian macro library support is used. The valid range
for this parameter is 1 to 9. No override is available.
This value is used as a suffix to the name specified by MACDDN. Thus, if:
MACDDN = PANDD
MAC#LIB = 2
In the JCL, two ddnames are:
PANDD1
PANDD2
Default - 1 Standard -

MACDDN=xxxxxxxx
Indicates the name used by the five standard CA-Easytrieve/Plus macro library
facilities to reference the desired macro library. Following is a description of how
each facility uses the option in a Macro Library.
CA-Panvalet or CA-Librarian
Defines the first five characters (usually PANDD) of the ddname used to
reference each CA-Panvalet library, or the first six characters (usually MASTER)
of the CA-Librarian ddname. In VSE, the library is also referenced through the
SYS number. See the MACSYS# parameter for details on accessing alternate VSE
library names.
PDS
(OS/390 only) defines the ddname used to reference the Partitioned Data Set
(PDS) to be used as a macro library. This parameter must be a valid ddname.
SSL
(VSE only) MACDDN is not used for the SSL macro facility. Use a LIBDEF
statement to define the source library to be searched for macro members.
VSAM
Defines the OS/390 ddname or VSE file-name used to reference the VSAM macro
library. This parameter must be a valid OS/390 ddname or VSE DLBL.
No override is available.
Default - PANDD Standard -

MACRO=xxxx
=(xxxx[,modname])
Specifies the type of macro library support. Valid values for xxxx are NO, LIBR,
PAN, PDS, SSL, VSAM, or USER. When the type is PAN, the optional modname
can be specified to identify the interface routine. For type USER, the modname
must be specified to identify the interface routine name.
When the type is SSL, the optional modname can be specified as the default
macro subtype. The default subtype for CA-Easytrieve/Plus SSL members is Z.
The subtype can be specified on the macro invocation statement. No other
override is available.
Default - (PAN,PANMODI) Standard -
