I want to wind back a bit on this one:-

We do use RACF as an ESM and we do use LOGONBY (controlled by RACF 
profiles) extensively.

I understand that any user with LOGONBY authority can log on and give any 
of the commands mentioned but we would be extremely unhappy about these 
users being able to give those commands on behalf of that user without 
logging on. This should not be the assumption and, if it becomes so, then 
there should be an easy way to revert to the current status :- 

There are 2 issues here :-

1.      Visibility
        Searching RACF audit record is no substitute for seeing the 
commands entered on the console of the user.

2.      Serialisation
        Insisting the user logs on (LOGONBY) ensures that they (and only 
they) have control of that user at that time.\

I would be OK with the ability to enable the behaviour suggested but I 
would be very unhappy for it to be the default that we had to find a 
workaround for.
