Global guard administration (GUARD-ADMINISTRATION)

The global guard administration may perform all types of guard administration actions in all local pubsets and back up and restore guards for all user IDs by means of the GUARDS-SAVE program. This means that a user ID with this privilege is co-owner of all the guards in the system.

By default, this privilege is assigned to the TSOS user ID. However, the security administrator can withdraw this privilege and/or assign it to different user IDs.

The guard administration privilege is addressed using GUARD-ADMINISTRATION in commands and GUAADM in macros.
