z/OSMF step approvers - support groups

Hi,

When defining a workflow template, steps can contain an Approvers Table. Currently, only userids can be specified.

This request is to add support for groups of users.

As you know, users are transient: they come and go, causing maintenance impact on all workflows that use Approvers tables.
Using (RACF) groups alleviates this, keeping maintenance restricted to the security department, where it belongs.

Kind regards,
Norman Ouwerkerk
