RACF Concepts

Compared to mainframe security implementation, Windows and *Nix security is very primitive. Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) is one of the many products that protect mainframe resources.

RACF aims to protect mainframe resources from unauthorized access. It sees every file, database, table, transaction, service as a resource and each of these can be protected by RACF. RACF can be set to protect all resources by default. That means unless specifically given, no one can access a resource.
