Why?

There are two ways to protect ADRDSSU in RACF:

1. PROGRAM CLASS 

2. FACILITY CLASS profiles:
    
Example: STGADMIN.ADR.STGADMIN.DUMP - To dump dsn without having 
READ access to datasets on condition you use ADMINISTRATOR keyword.

Yup! Here I agree 100.00% with Ted. ;)

Yes, but with correct FACILITY class profiles and ADMINISTRATOR keyword. 
For volumes you need DASDVOL class profiles.

>If so, ADRDSSU sorely needs repair, perhaps by restricting the volume dump
function and by preforming SAF checks for data set dumps.  But a blanket
restriction of all ADRDSSU function makes no sense.

No repair is needed at all for this. 

Hope this clears up any misunderstandings.
