Protection with the SECMODEL parameter

With SMS, RACF® can, through the SECMODEL parameter, protect a data set created under SMS.

You specify the name of a RACF data set profile on the SECMODEL parameter when you define a new data set. Use the SECMODEL parameter when you want to use a specific data set profile for a new data set rather than using your user/group default data set profile.

The data set profile contains information such as the name of the owner of the profile, a list of RACF users or groups authorized to access the data set, the access attempts that are logged, and other RACF-related information.

For more information, see z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide, and z/OS Security Server RACF Command Language Reference.
