The authority of the requester is verified by the subsystem name identified in the command, if an AUTHDEF statement is defined for that subsystem. If the request is broadcast, each HCL Workload Automation for Z subsystem on the z/OS system that the command is directed to will attempt to verify the authority of the requester, before it generates an event. It could be rejected by one subsystem and accepted by another. A user must have update authority to the required resource to use TSO commands.
