Finding out what NetView information RACF has about you

Your user profile might contain NetView® information about you. The details RACF® lists from the NetView segment of the user profile are:

Command or command list to be processed at logon (IC)
MCS extended console name (CONSNAME)
Type of security check (CTL)
Whether unsolicited messages are received (MSGRECVR)
Scope classes (OPCLASS)
NetView programs in another NetView domain for which operator has authority (DOMAINS)
Whether administrator authority is present for the NetView Graphic Monitor Facility (NGMFADMN)
NetView Graphic Monitor Facility view span options (NGMFVSPN)

Note: The RACF security administrator controls whether you can view all or some of the details of your NetView information.

The NetView information in the LISTUSER output has the following format:
