I can't help with z/OSMF even while we're now on 2.1, but that is on my radar 
screen for future exploitation...

Bob Young gave you a great reply! Thanks Bob!

You can do this command too to see what accesses are defined for this file:

ls -l /var/zosmf/configuration/configuration_planned.cfg

And also issue ls -l for each of the directories from the top down to the last 
folder.

You need to check all accesses for all folders and files and see to what 
group(s) that id IZUSVR is connected to.

This is one of the classes which you can't define a profile. You use DIRACC 
amongst other classes to do auditing on OMVS.

Dataset profile covering that dataset does NOT cover the OMVS files INSIDE that 
dataset. ALTER to dataset means nothing for the OMVS contents *inside* that 
dataset.

You're not alone. RACF-L and IBM-MAIN are full of such posts were RACF and OMVS 
are confused simply because the message is prefixed by ICH408.

Use the web page interface (of course, your company better not block that too) 
to post your messages. This is what I use for all the discussion lists. Simply 
because I want to keep my Inbox 'clean' and to bypass any e-mail limits.
