DFSMShsm provides a way to protect all DFSMShsm command access through the use of RACF® FACILITY class profiles. An active RACF FACILITY class establishes the security environment.

An individual, such as a security administrator, defines RACF FACILITY class profiles to grant or deny permission to issue individual DFSMShsm commands.

For more information about establishing the RACF FACILITY class environment, see Authorizing and protecting DFSMShsm commands in the RACF FACILITY class environment.
