Hi Cheryl, It depends on how secure is your operating room and how your operators work. If there are several operators running dozens of lpars and issuing commands on several systems at same time you might end up with one logon being used by everyone else in the shift and loosing the control expected by using console logon. In my opinion console logon should be used whenever possible to complement operator's room physical security, but sometimes - as in the example above - it's just not practical and in that case another external controls would better replace or complement console logon; console security has much more to do with operator's organization, training and education than anything else.
