CA-TSS must use propagation control to eliminate ACID inheritance.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>In certain situations, software applications/programs need to execute with elevated privileges to perform required functions. However, if the privileges required for execution are at a higher level than the privileges assigned to organizational users invoking such applications/programs, those users are indirectly provided with greater privileges than assigned by the organizations. Some programs and processes are required to operate at a higher privilege level and therefore should be excluded from the organization-defined software list after review.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Ensure an associated ACID exists for all batch jobs and propagation control is being used. Evaluate the impact of correcting the deficiency. Develop a plan of action and implement the changes as required.
The following Example shows the CONTROL-M STC ACID being owned to the PROPCNTL resource class:
TSS ADD(deptacid) PROPCNTL(control-m-acid)
