Yes, obviously!
But ...no.
To explain: there is an option in RACF, called GRPLIST. Vast majority of
installations use GRPLIST, but few use NOGRPLIST.
1. YES
For NOGRPLIST you may belong to meny group, but only one connection at
the time is "active" - that means you logon as Frank, FRANK1 (that's
the password) and NETADM - that's the group.
And you have all the authorities given to user FRANK and to group NETADM.
However you are member of SMSADM as well - but this group gives you no
authorities, because only one group is taken.
Is it stupid? Some people say it is good. Let's leave it.
2. NO
In typical GRPLIST world you logon as FRANK/FRANK1 and (usually) it
doesn't matter what group you provide, if any.
And you have all the authorities given to FRANK, NETADM, SMSADM and all
other groups you are connected to.
So, it in this case privileges are not different.
Exception: there are very few, very rare cases when "current connect
group" is important even in GRPLIST. See ARCCATGP (DFSMShsm manual).
However AFAIR it is enough to provide this groupname during logon.
Remark: no group provided = default group. Every RACF user has default
group assigned. And of course the user is connected to this group.

Curious question. Is it possible to have a single user ID with different
privileges depending on what group you specify when logging in (to TSO, for
example)?

two sets of IDs
Multiple ids can be very usefull. If you have a lot of privileges and write
code that is supposed to work without those privileges, it's useful to have a
bare bones userid. If you have work that requires privileges that you consider
too dangerous for normal work, it's nice to have a more privileged userid and
proxy permission. BTDT, GTTS.
