Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

With zDP Two-Actor Security enabled, zDP requires two users with different security roles to be involved for critical functions that affect zDP configuration, definition, or operational status. This feature ensures that the actions of a single user cannot compromise the operational characteristics of the zDP environment.

Before running a command or command sequence that is protected through zDP Two-Actor Security, the zDP user submits it for approval. The command or command sequence can only be run after the approver authorizes the requester to perform the requested action.
