Abstract

The architecture of an access control mechanism for the resources of an OS/360 or VS/370 computer system is presented. The use of this operating system component for data base security and integrity in a research and engineering environment is described. The techniques described make possible controlled access to the system's processing power, controlled access to the database, decentralized authorization responsibility, measuring dataset usage, and event recording for automatic dataset migration, archiving, and staging.
