C4R.class./OWNER.profile
See the documentation for more details:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/szs/3.1.0?topic=spprpo-mandatory-default-value-policy-profiles-owner
I'm not the submitter of this idea, however I think I get the gist of what the submitter is talking about. When any profile, that requires an owner on it (general resource profile, etc), if the owner is mistakenly left off, the userid of the one that executes the command is set as the owner of that profile. Having a way to define the default owner via SETROPTS would eliminate this issue.
The current behavior can cause a lot of problems, when the user that creates the profile is to be deleted, as you HAVE to go to each profile and change the owner of the the owner on it. While IRRRID00 can build you the commands that will do that, it may be that not all sites use that for the removal processing of a userid.
The idea is one that would greatly simplify RACF management, as we could set a global option, and a group, that would be the default owner of any/all profiles defined where the owner field is left off of the comand.
