Remediation - Manual Procedure
The ISSO will ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to BMC CONTROL-M User data sets are limited to systems programmers and/or BMC STCs and/or batch users only. UPDATE access can be given to the BMC Users, operations, and production control and scheduling personnel (both domain level and Application level). READ access can be given to auditors.
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. The installing systems programmer will identify if any additional groups have update and/or alter access for specific data sets, and once documented will work with the ISSO to ensure they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system.
(Note: The data sets and/or data set prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual data sets and/or prefixes are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product's installation guide and can be site specific.)
