Distributed RACF administration to suit your environment

The Challenge
In large organizations, routine tasks such as password reset often need to be delegated to department level, where the knowledge of specific security requirements resides. First of all, however, the following requirements must be met:

• Decentralized administrators must only have access to the RACF profiles they are responsible for.
• They must be restricted to a limited set of commands.
• They must be able to work in an existing environment.
