Add New Optional parameter to delete a userid with norule.

This rule is useful when someone try to delete a userid(ex- which support the dataset rule), but try to retain the rule( ex-dataset).

this is useful if you have a dataset HLQ which is used by CICS region but you dont want to manage a userid as that userid can by misused.

 

so if a parameter "NORULE" can be introduced for DELUSER or DELGROUP command.

    HI Team,

    as mentioned on your query

    ". Can you be more specific about your concerns about the users being misused? Have you considered making the users PROTECTED rather than deleting them? This would prevent logons to that user."

    This userid can be used by anyone with surrogate access/ can be used as surrogate id.

    HI Team,

    That was just an example, that userid can be misused or i could say we dont want to keep userid for dataset HLQ instead we can use Group. so in order to switch from user to group, all dataset rules need to be deleted and recopied after group is created.

    our firm uses ACF2 where i have this situation and used DELETE CICP NORULE command which deleted the ID but rules were still available.

    Thank you for submitting this idea. We would appreciate some additional information. Can you be more specific about your concerns about the users being misused? Have you considered making the users PROTECTED rather than deleting them? This would prevent logons to that user.
