You are correct the user should not be updating the Master Cat. You will need to define a new catalog for the user and then define an Alias in the MCAT pointing to the new user cat

I really apologize for the incredible newbie question. I am a developer; I only pretend to be a sysadmin. I don't even know where to look for this answer. Is it a RACF question or ??? I have defined a new user in RACF. Let's call him or her NEWUSER. I have defined a generic profile 'NEWUSER.**' (with quotes!) and given NEWUSER ACC(ALTER) to it. When NEWUSER tries to create a dataset it fails with ICH408I USER(NEWUSER ) GROUP(etc. CATALOG.MASTER.xxxxxxx CL(DATASET ) VOL(xxxxxx) INSUFFICIENT ACCESS AUTHORITY FROM CATALOG.MASTER.** (G) ACCESS INTENT(UPDATE ) ACCESS ALLOWED(READ ) What else do I need to do? I don't think I want to PERMIT NEWUSER to CATALOG.MASTER.xxxxxxx; I think it should have its own catalog? Am I confused or on the right track?
