At Australian Defence we heavily used GROUP SPECIAL. That relieved sysprogs
from daily BAU tasks such as password resets or resume for IDs where people
were inactive due to vacations or active service.
Other shops I've worked at had a dumbed down RACF administrative function.
That often proved to

lot of burden. OTOH, a poorly trained or uncooperative security administrator
can be a nightmare, and may leave you less secure, As usual, the Devil is in
