Protect deletion of Dual Control tickets

Dual Control policy allows you to retain tickets for a specified period.

We have set up to retain executed tickets for 52 weeks. However, VPCPDC00 (Dual Control Tickets panel) allows you to delete without any means to protect that from happening.

It's not logical either. To change the retention period in the policy requires dual control, but to delete (that's equal to manualy apply retention period of 0 day) is open for grabs.

Not saying Delete or Cleanout should be under dual control, but they need to be protected by some GDPSADMIN profile.

    It seems an important security check. Medium priority.

    Good idea.....Having the ability to delete without a security check seems an oversight.

    Maybe also a possibility to archive (& export) instead of delete. A profile to prevent premature deletion is somewhat a minimum. Medium.

    Agreed - you shouldn't be able to clear out the audit log that shows changes to your cyber vault configuration, so this should be added to dual control. Like we do with the Netlog, perhaps we could offload this log to a GDG on a (daily ?) timer, or each time a DC ticket is executed - then at least, we could protect that dataset with SAF rules and roughly control the retention with the GDG limit.

    Not something we'll need with the next two years, sadly, but a brilliant idea nonetheless.

    LBG: Makes sense to protect this, and it's something we'd like implementing within the next two years.

    We have some questions: (1) what is your use case? and (2) why is it important to control the deletions?
