I'm not sure I understand the question. If you are using parms similar to hlq.SISFJCL(ISFPRM00) and want to do something in batch based on userid, then you will have to add the group prior to the groups defined in those parms (or at least prior to the ISFUSER group) since the first match is what is used and any batch job will match on TSOAUTH(JCL).
