RELATED IDEAS

Please modify SDSF RACF calls to class JESSPOOL to use the RACF group(not RACF userid) to validate if a user has access to view/modify output.

This would be useful because users in a group should be able to view /modify all output created by userids in their group.  Currently, SDSF only checks the userid of the output and many RACF groups contain many(5-50) userids so it would be very beneficial to give JESSPOOL access at the group level instead of the userid level.

    RACF variables can be used to accomplish this functionality. More information about RACF variables can be found here:
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=pgr-using-racf-variables-in-profile-names-racfvars-class
    As an example: The RACFVARS class profile can specify the RACF variable name, such as ?&ISFJOB1? or ?&ISFUID1?. RALTER ADDMEM commands can then be used to add entries to that profile, such as RALTER RACFVARS &ISFJOB1 ADDMEM(...). Then the JESSPOOL profile can use the RACF variable as a qualifier, such as N1.&ISFUID1.&ISFJOB1.*.**
