As far as I know RMF does not have any granular SAF interfaces. And I have not checked, but I do not think it has any way to prevent usage of any panels.
The RMF Spread Sheet Reporter is an after the fact process. You create RMF Reports and publish them, but they are not real time. The concern about security is intriguing. I have not seen shops feel the need to restrict RMF Data. If your end users or customers know how to run RMF reports in Batch they can access the same data as if it is online in the RMF ISPF process. I am also curious as to why a Network person would be prevented from seeing the LPAR Capacity, Jobs with resource issues, or zFS issues that are presented in RMF. You may need to contact IBM for assistance on this one. The only option I see at this point is too Lock down RMF from everyone except the few, and then have a scheduling system run batch reports for the various areas. This will not be real time. Then if they need real time, they would need to contact your MVS group for assistance. In other shops I have worked in, RMF was available to everyone, and that helped because sometimes Programmers used it and then reported issues to the MVS team. But I see RMF similar to using tools like Omegamon, Strobe, Mainview, and other monitoring tools.
