DFSMSrmm provides different user menus for general users, system programmers, storage administrators, and tape librarians. User menus are tailored specifically to the needs and access levels of each type of user. Your installation defines your level of access to functions. Using the menu designed for your user group is the best assurance that your requests for functions match the level of access you have been authorized to. In most cases, it is also the shortest path to the functions you want to request. If you request a function for which you are not authorized, your request will fail.

You can select a particular user menu from the DFSMSrmm primary option menu, or you can issue a fast path command to go directly to the menu. See Issuing fast path commands for more information on the specific fast path commands for user menus.
