From "man ssh" (on Linux):
NAME
ssh — OpenSSH SSH client (remote login program)
SYNOPSIS
ssh [-options] [user@]hostname [command]
DESCRIPTION
...
If command is specified, it is executed on the remote host instead of a
login shell.
Note "instead of", providing a circumvention.
And, on z/OS, the BPXWUNIX I mentioned earlier.
Just don't let "most of the accounts" access/alter critical resources.
