That doesn¹t deal with the write-enabled minidisks owned by those users, though. You¹d need to use SYSAFFIN to isolate minidisks to specific LPARs, and if you did this, your filepools wouldn¹t actually be shared. If you don¹t do something with SYSAFFIN and just allow all the systems to access the minidisks MW, then you¹ll get a completely new type of data, which won¹t be of any use to anyone.
