In order to control the ability to perform functions associated with storage management, define profiles in the FACILITY class whose profile names begin with STGADMIN (storage administration). Although some of these FACILITY profiles are used to protect the Storage Management Subsystem, they are checked whether or not you are using SMS.

There are two sets of FACILITY class profiles. The first are command and keyword related and the second are oriented towards actions and provide authority for storage administrators to do things like backup or copy data sets to which the administrator would usually have no authority.
