What are the UIDs of OMVSKERN and IBMUSER? If they are not the same and IBMUSER’s UID is not 0, then IBMUSER will fall to either the group or other. You can connect IBMUSER to OMVSGRP to get RW access to /etc.
If you are wanting YOUR ID to have RW access, connect yourself to OMVSGRP (or chmod 777 but I wouldn’t recommend that).
