Re: Restricting terminals

Switch off Auto-config until you need it again & restrict authority to the
existing DEVDs ?

Are they virtual devices ? In Client/Access Menu option
Communication/Configure, your users can nominate the workstation ID   (e.g.
DD999) they will use, & you can edit the authority to it, making it PUBLIC
(*exclude) to all but
the individuals concerned)

I'm wondering what the issue is with restricting the resource - confine
them to a faster subsystem ? a particular controller ?
Either way, you can secure your objects with EDTOBJAUT ...

Hope  that helps,
Fiona

(who once created a devd owned by QSECOFR & was not popular for it!)

We use the auto configure for display devices that allows display device
descriptions to be defined as needed and acquired. We have need for a
couple of devices to be restricted to a few users. We can figure out how to
make sure those select few get those dedicated terminals, but how do we
keep others from jumping in and getting those dedicated terminals?
