You were able to respond before I could... Your write-up is correct. I suspect he has made the new users be "service" type users. Service-type users can not do anything disruptive (like an IPL) unless the object is in service mode. The service person can only IPL the LPAR or work with a channel that is in service mode, which the customer should do. This helps prevent the service person from targeting the wrong object with a disruptive operation.
I recommend that each new user be distinct and there should be at least one (and probably two) access administrators who can manage HMC users.
