Each System Management and Help Desk facility, which is implemented through a particular IBM Session Manager command that runs on the mainframe, has a security code allocated to it. This code is a numeric digit from 1 to 9, where 1 is the least secure and 9 is the most secure. Code 1 is used for generally available facilities, and 9 is for security-sensitive facilities, such as shutting down IBM Session Manager.
There is a default security code associated with each facility which may be overridden by a site, using the COMMAND statement in the IBM Session Manager configuration. The COMMAND statement also enables different security codes to be applied to a facility's components, enabling it to be partially restricted.
For a list of the facilities and the default security code allocated to each one, refer to the description of the COMMAND statement in the IBM Session Manager Technical Reference manual.
