If you have access to the user's LOGONBY profile in the SURROGAT class, you can issue the FOR command.
I didn't think there was any point in requiring separate authorization for LOGON BY and FOR. And with or without RACF, if you are the current secuser you can issue FOR. (Yes, the ESMs provide more functionality than CP by himself.)

Now I tried the FOR command and received this: HCPFOR070E - Basically it is an authorization issue with the FOR command. We are running RACF here so do you know what the profile would be and what RACF class would need to be activated to define and permit this resource? Can I also do this via the SECUSER command?

I want to point the guest to the new copied volume from the one it is currently using without bringing the guest down. Is there a way to do this?
