Remediation - Manual Procedure
Ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to BMC IOA STC data sets are limited to systems programmers only. UPDATE access can be given to BMC STCs, batch users and BMC administrators. READ access can be given to auditors and BMC users.
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 he will work with the ISSO to see that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system.
