Q:
IS IOSYSCONFIG required to perform VARY ON/OFF devices, ctl's, linds
AS/400 security, IOSYSCONFIG
Hi - I am being told that IOSYSCONFIG special authority is required for our Operators profiles in order for them to perform VARY ON printers, LIND's, DEV's, etc... Can anyone confirm or deny, I doubt this to be the case but have no environment to test currently. Thx - G7

Hi,

The response is Yes and No! Following the help on VRYCFG command you can find that some values on some parameters needs *IOSYSCONFIG and other needs *ALLOBJ. I recommend you read carefully the help text and decide if you will need or not depending on which kind of work your operators can or can not do.

I hope it will help you.

Regards,
Wilson


Hi -

Didn't see what you are reffereing to in the F1 help for the VRYCFG, but sounds good to the unknowing...

I will look elsewhere for this answer, hope you get your points.

I’m sorry if you can’t see it but it’s still there on “Note” after, for example, RESETSYS parameter values.

BTW I don’t care about points, I just do it to help people.

WOW - In the original question I’m only asking if IOSYSCONFIG is required to Vary on lines, devices, (printers) and Ctl’s.

I was able to test using a newly created profile with only *JOBCTL and *SPLCTL and was able to perform the VARY ON / OFF of devices, printers, and lines.

Still have no clue about the *YES and *NO and all that. Thx for the input.

Thx - CB

Since VRYCFG only sets the state of an object and doesn’t change any configuration, the *IOSYSCFG special authority isn’t appropriate. Of course, authority must exist to the object(s) being varied on or off.

If the I/O configuration is being changed, e.g., to associate a new “secure location” or to alter the system’s hosts table to redirect connections to a different IP address, then *IOSYSCFG is needed.

Other special authorities, e.g., *JOBCTL, might be needed if other areas are affected such as ending jobs associated with a *LIND.
