z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide
SA23-2289-00

When defining users to RACF® with the ADDUSER command, or when modifying user attributes with the ALTUSER command, RACF security and group administrators should assign:
  • SPECIAL, AUDITOR, and OPERATIONS attributes to only those users responsible for administering RACF on a system-wide basis
  • CLAUTH attributes to only those users who are responsible for defining other users and general resources
  • RESTRICTED attribute to only those user IDs that should not gain access to protected resources they are not specifically authorized to access
Note: You cannot assign the ADSP attribute to a user who allocates space for data sets that do not meet the RACF or installation naming conventions.
