    There are multiple requests listed for this RFE. The first being to provide view only flavors of the "LPAR Controls" and "LPAR Group Controls" tasks. This request is recognized.

    The second request is to allow user info to be available from the "Audit and Log Management" task. This is specifically not allowed for non-access administrator users since this would provide details about other users and potentially result in privacy concerns. This user information is available via this task for access administrator users since they already have the ability to view and alter this type information.
