If you meet certain RACF® requirements you can define other TSO/E users to run your jobs from their user ID without them knowing your logon password. This process is called surrogate job submission, and the other users are called surrogate users.

Be aware that if you define a surrogate user to run your jobs under your user ID, the surrogate user also has access to many other data sets and pieces of information related to your user ID. Check with your security administrator before defining surrogate users.

Before you select another user to be your surrogate, ask your RACF security administrator to make all of the necessary RACF authorizations for both your user ID and the surrogate's user ID.

See z/OS Security Server RACF General User's Guide for information about the RACF commands needed to define a surrogate user.
