Yes, you are going down the right path. If you can, you want to step
back and not get caught up in the details too quickly. One approach to
take is outlined in a publication in IBM's Infocenter. It's a
publication called Basic Security and you can find it under the Security
topic. It takes a high-level approach and then walks you through
various levels until you're implementing the details. First it has you
list out each application on your system, then the type of user needing
to use each application, and then the access each type of user requires.
The next section is to list out the types of users on the system and
categorizing them into groups. Eventually you get down to moving users
into groups and authorizing the groups to the objects directly or to
authorization lists securing the objects. ==================================
