What it means
IRR017I means the user is connected to the group named on the job (or their default group), but the connection to that group is revoked.
The user ID itself may still be fine. Only the use of this group is blocked.
Typical causes
- The user's connection to the group was revoked by the security team or by a site rule.
- The job names a group that the user should no longer use.
- A default group was changed or revoked.
How to fix it
- Report the message to your RACF security administrator.
- Check the group named on the JOB statement.
- Ask for the connection to be resumed or for a different valid group, through the normal process.
