Assure that the following authorizations are configured:
Grant the CA VM:Secure system administrator authorization to use all commands and menu selections.
Grant directory managers authorization to use a particular command, group of commands, or menu selection.
By carefully planning these authorizations, you can delegate many of the daily directory and disk space management tasks to the directory managers. Plan these authorizations carefully to cover all aspects of your site’s VM installation.
Grant general users authorization to use those commands and menu selections that enable them to manage their own virtual machine. Users can then perform tasks such as maintaining their own system password and controlling access to their minidisks by others.
For example, for users in the Technical Support group, you may want to authorize them to use all selections on the “User Selection” menu.
Examine “AUTHORIZ CONFIG” file.
