Both Walt and Russell have mentioned the new tape security options in z/OS V1R8. Using those, together with DFSMSrmm you have a way to also address #3. DFSMSrmm looks at the RACF decision and can give access when the user had none or the data set was not protected - RMM uses the STGADMIN.EDG.IGNORE.TAPE..... resources to determine the users access. This requires the user code EXPDT=98000.
