The IBM RACF JES(BATCHALLRACF) SETROPTS value must be set to JES(BATCHALLRACF).
An XCCDF Rule
Description
In certain situations, software applications/programs need to execute with elevated privileges to perform required functions. However, if the privileges required for execution are at a higher level than the privileges assigned to organizational users invoking such applications/programs, those users are indirectly provided with greater privileges than assigned by the organizations. Some programs and processes are required to operate at a higher privilege level and therefore should be excluded from the organization-defined software list after review.
