Hi Raymond,
I'm trying to understand more of a context here. For me the scenario you explained looks more like auditing facility inside RACF. if yes can you please open this RFE towards RACF: This is idea portal for IBM Z Security and Compliance Center.
When a breach occurs on z/OS, the person or team responsible for detecting and remediating the source of the breach needs to know:
Which ID was used to initiate the event
How entry to the system was obtained
Misuse of an existing service that already had access
Compromise of a user login account
When a Surrogate ID is used to perform the breach (usu. with escalation of privilege), the originating ID must be identified. If the breach is still in progress, time is of the essence and the research must be done quickly. If Surrogate to Surrogate access exists and the SMF data does not identify the initial submitter, the researcher must follow the submit chain which could cross multiple sysplex environments, subsystems, and privileged and non-privileged IDs.
