General Information for OWNER

The OWNER parameter is used by the internal security mechanism of Control-M to determine which operations each user is authorized to perform and which information each user is authorized to access. For example, access to options and information on the Active Environment screen can be limited by the OWNER parameter.

The OWNER parameter can also facilitate selection and handling of production jobs.

The OWNER parameter is passed to external security products, such as RACF, ACF2 and TOP SECRET. Certain security products require that the owner name not exceed seven characters.

Default OWNER is dependent on the online environment of the site (CICS, TSO, and so on). For TSO and TSO/ISPF environments, the TSO user ID is the default. For non-TSO environments, such as CICS, the default is the terminal ID.
