HSMS checks user privileges.
In HSMS only a single SDF system syntax file is supplied. The selection of statements can be restricted using the software product SDF-A (see the “SDF-A” manual [14]).
HSMS checks following privileges:
HSMS administrator (“HSMS administration” privilege)
This privilege is reserved for user jobs running under a user ID to which the HSMS-ADMINISTRATION privilege has been assigned. By default, these are the SYSHSMS and TSOS user IDs.
The security officer can use SET-PRIVILEGE command to assign this privilege to other user IDs (see the “SECOS” manual [16]). Any user working with HSMS under these privileged user IDs is referred to within the context of this manual as the HSMS administrator.
It is not advisable to set up multiple HSMS administrations under different IDs at a given point in time.The statements reserved for the HSMS administrator, together with specific operands (e.g. EXPRESS-REQUEST), are available exclusively to users with this privilege.
The HSMS administrator has the same file access rights under HSMS as the system administrator under TSOS. If he/she is not working under HSMS on the other hand, i.e. in command mode under the user ID SYSHSMS, the HSMS administrator has no special privileges. This also applies to the use of the software product ARCHIVE.
Subsystem administrator (“SUBSYSTEM-MANAGEMENT” privilege)
This privilege is required in order to start and terminate HSMS.System administrator (“TSOS” privilege)
The HSMS server tasks are executed under this privilege. Furthermore, it is required for mounting remote file systems that are to be processed by HSMS.User (“standard processing”)
Users have none of the above privileges and are therefore referred to in this manual as “nonprivileged”.
User ID SYSHSMS
The user ID SYSHSMS has a special meaning in HSMS: By default, the user ID SYSHSMS is assigned the HSMS-ADMINISTRATION privilege. Central HSMS work files such as control and request files are created under this user ID. Furthermore, SYSHSMS is the owner ID of all users who possess the HSMS administration privilege (see section "Privileges").
SYSHSMS is the owner ID assigned to

request names
