Remediation - Manual Procedure
The ISSO will ensure WRITE and/or greater access to CA MICS Resource Management User data sets is limited to SMF Batch user(s), MICS Administrators, and systems programming personnel. READ access can be given to all authorized users (e.g., auditors, security administrators, and MICS end users).
The installing systems programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have WRITE and/or greater access and, if required, that all WRITE and/or greater access is logged. The installing systems programmer will identify if any additional groups have WRITE and/or greater 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.)
