I just discovered that I don't even have access to SYS1.SAMPLIB.

Well, obviously I don't know the answer, however I saw cases where the
answer was mess. Or sometimes "AI is no match for natural stupidity".
Example: STGADMIN IMPORT strictly prohibited, but ...ALTER to RACF db.
Some DISPLAY commands prohibited (and no chance to change it), but $JES2
commands not protected at all.
UACC(ALTER) to APF library, fully qualified generic profile.
etc.
BTW: SYS1.SAMPLIB is a big PDS with text members. It is copyrighted, but
it is included in z/OS license. So, it is possible and legal to copy
such PDS from other system, i.e. sandbox. Assumption: a user is allowed
to put/get datasets...
