Expand RACF resource OPERCMDS MVS.VARY.WLM to improve protection of WLM application-environments

V WLM,APPLENV=<name>,refresh|quiesce|resume command can be protected by OPERCMDS MVS.VARY.WLM resource. If a userID has this resource permitted, he can issue the "v wlm,applenv..." commands to every application-environment with any operation, which is not a good solution, because this includes production and none production apple-envs and all "v wlm" operations.

So SAF resource cheching OPERCMDS MVS.VARY.WLM should be expanded by the name or pattern name of the application-environment. 

Accesslevels should be used to protect the "v wlm" operation.
acc(read) only for REFRESH operation
acc(update) all operations (REFRESH,QUIESCE,RESUME etc.)

Example:
user1 should only be able to only refresh applenv r0gdwlm0 via mvs command
MVS.VARY.WLM.R0GDWLM+ acc(READ)

admin user2 should only be able to refresh,quiesce,resume all applenv's (begining with R) via mvs command
MVS.VARY.WLM.R+++++++ acc(UPDATE)

I know, that there is a way to do this by MVS Commands Exits. But in general, we don't like to implement assemblers anymore, because the people who can do it won't be available in the future.

So it would be the better way, if the checking of resource mvs.vary.wlm would be expanded as mentioned above.
