SDSF 2.5+ will use SAF instead of internal (ISFPRMxx / ISFPARMS) security.

There is a recent presentation on how SDSF 2.5 security works with SAF in the 
IBM Education GitHub :

github.com/IBM/IBM-Z-zOS/tree/main/zOS-Education/

If you have migrated from non-SAF to SAF security, there is quite a lot of 
migration considerations especially if you have not previously activated the 
OPERCMDS and JESSPOOL classes.

Other customization options in the ISFPRMxx GROUP statement should behave as 
previously.

One thing to check is that users are being placed into their expected SDSF 
groups as the selection criteria is now ONLY that they have SAF READ access to 
the SDSF class profile “GROUP.name.server”. Previously criteria like userid or 
TSO logon proc name are no longer used.

Do you have specific issues that you can expand on ?

Hello,
Friends recently upgraded 2.4 to 2.5, and found that some previous controls 
(eg.AUPDT) no longer work as before. I said I believe those controls moved from 
parmlib to RACF.
We’re getting mixed feedback on that theory.
What say you?
Am I half right/wrong?
Are there exits, mods, exceptions, caveats, etc. that should be considered?
Thanks much!
R.
(May also post in RACF.)
