Product configuration/parameters control the security and operational characteristics of products. If these parameter values are improperly specified, security and operational controls may be weakened. This exposure may threaten the availability of the product applications, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data.

CL/SuperSession Install datasets provide the capability to use privileged functions and/or have access to sensitive data. Failure to properly restrict access to their datasets could result in violating the integrity of the base product which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.

CL/SuperSession requires a started task that will be restricted to certain resources, datasets, and other system functions. Defining the started task as a userid to the system ACP allows the ACP to control the access and authorized users that require these capabilities. Failure to properly control these capabilities could compromise the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data.
