Securing access to reports at the data set level in CA-View

[Michael SMITH]

C​​urrently CA-View only provides report level security and we have a need to restrict access to specific data set (DDNAME) output for reports archived in a CA-View database.

We are using external security in CA-View with ACF2 and are trying to secure access to reports at the data set level.  In other words, we want to restrict users' access to all report data sets except for those that begin with JES*, e.g. JESMSGLG (JES job log). 

So if the ? select option is specified, the user can only view data sets that begin with JES.  Or if the S select option is specified, the user will only be able to view the data in the JES* data sets.  We have a requirement to have data set granularity with the REPT resource type in CA-View security calls.  Please consider this request for enhancement to CA-View security.

Regards,
Michael Smith

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the idea, and I agree CA View does not support this, other customers have asked for this as well. I'll add this to the backlog.
