Control-M/Server security

Control-M/Server security allows you to define authorizations for each user/group. You authorize which user/group can run a certain a job and which actions (for example, forcing another job or running a utility) a user/group are authorized to perform in the Control-M/Server account.

Control-M/Server authorization security applies to the Active jobs database.

NOTE: To define the bimuser security settings for Control-M for z/OS, see INCONTROL for z/OS Security Guide.

Authorizations are used to perform security checks each time one of the following actions is attempted in Control-M/Server:

• Accessing a folder (add, delete, or modify a job definition)
• Ordering a job
• Selecting and submitting a job
• Running a command that affects jobs in the Active jobs database (Hold, Confirm, Rerun)
• Maintaining Control-M entities (calendars and prerequisite conditions)

The following procedures describe how to create, edit, delete, and define permissions for a user/group:

• Creating a user/group
• Editing a user/group
• Deleting a user/group
• User/group authorizations

Alternatively, you can use the ctmsec utility, as described in ctmsec.
