With the exception of IEHINITT, RACF® performs authorization checking for tape volumes that are accessed by system utilities when these utilities issue the OPEN macro instruction; therefore, users of system utilities must be defined to RACF and have authorized access to any RACF-protected tape volumes that the utilities access.

The installation should restrict the use of the IEHINITT utility to only authorized administrators. You can use the RACF program control option to restrict the utility.
