A Mainframe security administrator has difficulty or delay in removing all users from a certain group, for example to delete a group, so the idea is to have a single RACF command to remove all users from a group. The command could be REMOVE groupname RESET, executing this single command, all users will be removed from the group. The RACF command will be executed just by Mainframe security administrator.

This functionality already exists in zSecure Admin and zSecure Manager for RACF z/VM, namely command
REMOVE GROUP= idlist
The GROUP parameter removes one or more groups from the database, including all references
and profiles used only for a single group. The GROUP parameter specifies all processing for REMOVE PERMIT= and also generates the RACF commands to remove users from groups, delete group profiles if requested, and modify default groups of users as needed. However, GROUP parameter processing does not automatically delete user profiles if a group is the last remaining group for a user. For these types of user profiles, the remove commands generated will fail when they are run.
The value specified for the idlist can be a single group name or a list of group names that are enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas.
