Undefined user IDs

z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide
SA23-2289-00

A started procedure runs as an undefined user if:
  1. It is executed without associating its name with a RACF-defined user ID and group name.
  2. The user or group is not defined.
  3. The user is not connected to the group.

A started procedure running as an undefined user can access RACF-protected resources if the universal access authority for the resource is sufficient to allow the requested operation. However, if a started procedure requires access at a higher level than universal access, you must associate the started procedure with a RACF-defined user ID and group name.
