Remediation - Manual Procedure
Ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to BMC CONTROL-M User/Application JCL data sets are limited to systems programmers and/or BMC administrators only. UPDATE access can be given to the production control and scheduling personnel (both domain level and Application level) and BMC STCs and/or batch users. READ access can be given to auditors, automated batch user(s), BMC users, and operations. Access will be based on a documented need to know requirement. Application (external users) will not have access to internal/site data sets.
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 see that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system.
