Natural SAF Security is used in conjunction with Natural Security and with an SAF-compliant external security system (RACF, CA-ACF2 or CA Top Secret).
It is assumed that you are familiar with and have a good general understanding of Natural and Natural Security. In particular, you should be familiar with the Natural Security documentation.
If you are not familiar with the external security system yourself, you should get in touch with the security administrator who is in charge of that system, as the use of Natural SAF Security requires certain conditions to be met by the system.
