If you want to prevent certain users from being able to access z/OS UNIX
services, define an OMVS segment with no UID for those users. This prevents
their user IDs from being automatically assigned a UID. When they attempt
to use a z/OS UNIX service, the dub will fail, and a daemon will be unable
to switch to these user IDs.
*Example*:
ALTUSER TSOADM1 OMVS(NOUID)
