Securing Devices on the AS/400

For the Security Officer: The ETU power commands allow a properly authorized user to transfer files to and from multiple devices. The devices to which a user is authorized can be limited using the security built into the AS/400. Then, if a user tries to transfer data to or from the device to which he is not authorized, the program ends and sends the following error message to the screen:

Unable to open display file with device specified.

In order to take advantage of device-specific authority, your AS/400 must be configured for a security level of 30 or above. If your system is configured below level 30, all users have the authority to access all devices.

To exclude a device from a user, follow standard system protocol for limiting device authority on the AS/400. For more information about securing devices, see AS/400 Security Concepts and Planning, SC21-8083.
