Mark,

I'm surprised it didn't work. Did you code a CUSTOM(proplist) parameter in 
_all_ your GROUP statements that points to the PROPLIST NAME(proplist) 
statement with the PROPERTY parameter? And did you refresh the ISFPARMS in all 
the SDSF servers?

Thanks for the link for the output violations - it doesn't appear to work for 
TSS (Top Secret).

Hi Mark,

When a user attempts to select a job, SDSF does an authorization check for each 
individual SYSOUT DDNAME associated with the job and can generate multiple 
violations like this.

To address this issue, see article " Avoiding Output Browse Violation Messages 
in SDSF" in the July 2008 issue of our RACF Tips newsletter.

Subject: SDSF & TSS (RACF)

I am trying to convert our SDSF from using ISFPARMS to TSS for security.

I need some direction on how to provide security for reports.

Currently I am trying to use JESSPOOL to control access.
The customer is allowed to view all currently active and held output jobs but 
may only look at certain JOBS & REPORTS.

During testing I have this occurring:

The customer is trying to view this job (which the customer is not authorized)

COMMAND INPUT ===>
PREFIX=*  DEST=(ALL)  OWNER=*  SYSNAME=
NP   DDNAME   StepName ProcStep DSID Owner    C Dest
     JESMSGLG JES2                 2 TS0242   R LOCAL
     JESJCL   JES2                 3 TS0242   R LOCAL
     JESYSMSG JES2                 4 TS0242   R LOCAL

The above is displayed when I put a ? in the Held output screen.
This is just to show you the report has 3 different reports.

Then the customer goes back to the screen which shows the job name:

SDSF HELD OUTPUT DISPLAY ALL CLASSES LINES 55          LINE 1
COMMAND INPUT ===>
PREFIX=B1*  DEST=(ALL)  OWNER=*  SORT=JOBNAME/A  SYSNAME=
NP   JOBNAME  JobID    Owner    Prty C ODisp Dest
     B100042B JOB09087 TS0242    144 R HOLD  LOCAL


Then select the job and receives the following messages:

TSS7257E Unauthorized Access Level for JESSPOOL 
<ACSCM.TS0242.A200042B.JOB09143.D0000002.JESM>
TSS7257E Unauthorized Access Level for JESSPOOL 
<ACSCM.TS0242.A200042B.JOB09143.D0000003.JESJ>
TSS7257E Unauthorized Access Level for JESSPOOL 
<ACSCM.TS0242.A200042B.JOB09143.D0000004.JESY>
TSS7141E Use of Accessor ID Suspended
TSS7191E Job/Session Cancelled - Excessive Violations TSS7192E Session Locked - 
Excessive Violations: Signoff
CS0042 LOGGED OFF TSO AT 14:57:54 ON MAY 23, 2022 IKJ56453I SESSION CANCELLED
******

I would hate to think someone would accidently try to look at an  output they 
are not authorized to view and get their ID suspended.

Maybe I am going at this all wrong.

Is there a different way I should be doing this?

Any help would be appreciated.

We are currently at z/OS v2.4.

Thank You
