Last year I attempted to implement SMCS console support to provide the

Our operations manager nixed the plan for what he thought were security

Such as??

Are there any differences in security related "stuff" between SMCS
console capabilities and an SDSF (EMCS) console? We would require the
user to logon to the SMCS application so RACF would only grant access to
authorized personal and all other RACF profiles/rules would be in effect
for that user.

The port of entry on the UTOKEN specified via MGCRE will be different. (One is a console. The other, a TSO user.) The only way I can envision that making any substantive difference is if you go out of your way to differentiate them -- for example, by specifying "WHEN CONSOLE(xxxx)" on your OPERCMDS resource profile definitions.
