RACF ability for NO-Special-users to remove MFA from user.

We need to implement emergency procedure for MFA-users to allow access without MFA.

If somebody get a call in the middle of the night, and drop the phone in the toilet before loging in … we have a serious problem.

We have no Security Officers on call to set User in Pairring Mode or to remove MFA from user.

Shutting down the MFA-task could be a solution as we have defined PWFALLBACK on all users, but this would affect all other user that try to login.


We would prefer that the Online operator was able to temporarely remove MFA-segment from user (ALU xxxx NOMFA), but this requires SPECIAL in RACF, and that is not acceptable.

A solution would be to make change to RACF, providing a solution that allow to permit certain users to manipulate MFA-segment.
It could maybe be implemented via Profile in Facility Class like IRR.PASSWORD.RESET allowing users to Reset other users password-count.

    This item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. As an alternative, it would be possible to have a user with group-special access to limit the scope to the desired users.
