The IAO will ensure that update and allocate access to program product data sets is limited to System Programmers only, and all update and allocate access is logged. Auditors should have read access. The installing Systems Programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have update and alter access and if required that all update and allocate access is logged. He will identify if any additional groups have update access for specific data sets, and once documented he will work with the IAO to see that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program ) active on the system. Data sets to be protected will be: SYS2.TADZ SYS2.TADZ .V-.SHSIMOD1 SYS3.TADZ The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing dataset controls: $KEY(SYS2) TADZ.- UID(syspaudt) R(A) W(L) A(L) E(A) TADZ.V-.SHSIMOD1 UID(syspaudt) R(A) W(L) A(L) E(A) TADZ.- UID(audtaudt) R(A) E(A) $KEY(SYS3) TADZ.- UID(syspaudt) R(A) W(L) A(L) E(A) TADZ.- UID(audtaudt) R(A) E(A)

The IAO will ensure that update and alter access to Tivoli Asset Discovery for zOS (TADz) STC and/or batch data sets are limited to system programmers and TADz STC and/or batch jobs only. Read access may be granted to auditors at the IAOs discretion. The installing systems programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have update and alter access and if required that all update and allocate access is logged. He will identify if any additional groups have update access for specific data sets, and once documented he will work with the IAO to see that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program ) active on the system.

Tivoli Asset Discovery for z/OS (TADz) requires a started task(s) that will be restricted to certain resources, datasets and other system functions. By defining the started task as a userid to the system Access Control Program (ACP), it allows the ACP to control the access and authorized users that require these capabilities. Failure to properly control these capabilities, could compromise of the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data.Information Assurance OfficerSystems ProgrammerECCD-1, ECCD-2

The TADz system programmer and the ISSO will ensure that a product's Started Task(s) is properly identified / defined to the System ACP. If the product requires a Started Task, verify that it is properly defined to the System ACP with the proper attributes. Most installation manuals will indicate how the Started Task is identified and any additional attributes that must be specified. Example: SET LID CHANGE TADZMON STC
