Format
Forbidden contexts
NO USER
Execution
A user who is at HIGH or NORMAL security is restricted in the type of job (MOP or BACKGROUND) that he is allowed to initiate in NO USER context, although in some cases he is merely requested to give his password. The requirements of the user who issues any of the commands that initiate jobs ( JOB, RUNJOB, LOGIN and CONNECT) or create filestore files (INPUT) in NO USER context are tabulated below.
| Context | Command | SECURITY HIGH | SECURITY NORMAL | SECURITY LOW |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MOP,NO USER | INPUT | Not allowed | Not allowed | No password required |
| JOB RUNJOB LOGIN CONNECT |
Password required | Password required | No password required | |
| BACKGROUND,NO USER | INPUT | No password required | No password required | No password required |
| JOB RUNJOB |
Not Allowed | No password required | No password required |
Thus, users in an environment where they are not concerned with security, may set themselves at LOW security and avoid having to type a password each time they LOGIN.
Note that users are initially set at NORMAL security.
