DFSMS resources must be protected in accordance with the proper security requirements.
Overview
| Finding ID | Version | Rule ID | IA Controls | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Description |
|---|
| DFSMS provides data, storage, program, and device management functions for the operating system. Some DFSMS storage administration functions allow a user to obtain a privileged status and effectively bypass all ACP data set and volume controls. Failure to properly protect DFSMS resources may result in unauthorized access. This exposure could compromise the availability and integrity of the operating system environment, system services, and customer data. |

| The IAO will work with the systems programmer to verify that the following are properly specified in the ACP. (Note: The resources and/or resource prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual resource type, resources, and/or resource prefixes are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product’s installation guide and can be site specific.) Below is listed the access requirements for SMS Resources. Ensure the guidelines for the resources and/or generic equivalent are followed.
