It's a catalog administration issue, except for the Unix housekeeping. Are you talking about a completely new installation, or adding a new user at an existing installation? If the latter, then there's also an issue of local policy.
In general, there should be multiple user catalog, based upon performance and policy. Each user should have an alias to one connected user catalog, with the choice based on load balancing and policy. There are tools in ISPF to partially automate the process, e.g., assigning a unique UID. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I really apologize for the incredible newbie question. I am a developer; I only pretend to be a sysadmin. I don't even know where to look for this answer. Is it a RACF question or ??? I have defined a new user in RACF. Let's call him or her NEWUSER. I have defined a generic profile 'NEWUSER.**' (with quotes!) and given NEWUSER ACC(ALTER) to it. When NEWUSER tries to create a dataset it fails with ICH408I USER(NEWUSER ) GROUP(etc. CATALOG.MASTER.xxxxxxx CL(DATASET ) VOL(xxxxxx) INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY FROM CATALOG.MASTER.** (G) ACCESS INTENT(UPDATE ) ACCESS ALLOWED(READ ) What else do I need to do? I don't think I want to PERMIT NEWUSER to CATALOG.MASTER.xxxxxxx; I think it should have its own catalog? Am I confused or on the right track?
