Distributed administration.
Consul zVisual RACF enhances the efficiency and functionality of RACF by simplifying administration tasks through a user-friendly Windows interface. Without needing extensive knowledge of RACF, helpdesk staff and security administrators can perform delegated security administration functions such as password resets and authority management through a user-friendly interface. This makes it possible to decentralize the RACF administration from central (corporate) IT towards the departmental level.
Consul zVisual RACF requires only minimal training, which translates into lower helpdesk overhead and high staff acceptance. By accessing RACF profiles directly from Windows, these frequently required tasks can be handled more easily and efficiently than ever before.
zVisual RACF provides a user-friendly administration solution for mainframes running SecureWay Security Server RACF, ranging from an extended delegated helpdesk function to a full-fledged group administration solution.
