IBM Mainframe Forum

Hi,

I want to give READ access of my PDS to all the users. I know we can grant access to a specific user using PERMIT command. Can anyone please tell me how to grant access to all the users?

Thanks in advance!

pretty inconsiderate action,
Nobody should mangle with the authorizations defined/enforced by the security standards
it usually is cause for lawful termination

You should have asked Your support, not on a forum!

Discuss this matter with site security. Failure to do this will probably result in your being FIRED.

enrico/Steve,
Thanks for your suggestions... But sharing my local PDS will not violate our org policies. Can you please help me out in this if that is technically possible?

then Your support will be glad to take care of it, and/or provide the proper advice.
no reason for anybody to steal their job

It may or may not be possible for you to do what you want to do; only someone working in your site support group can tell you how your site is set up. Some sites restrict the use of the RACF commands such as PERMIT to only security group members while other sites allow some use of RACF commands by programmers. Only someone working at your site can provide you with the necessary guidance; nobody on this forum should be giving you commands that may or may not be acceptable for you to execute at your site.
