Remediation - Manual Procedure
Review all ACIDs with the MISC9 attribute. Evaluate the impact of removing MISC9(ALL) or MISC9(CONSOLE) access from ACIDs not required to assign the CONSOLE attribute. It is suggested that MISC9(CONSOLE) assignment privileges be limited to the MSCA. Develop a plan of action and implement the changes.
