We set the ASXBSENV to the ACEE of the user. The requests are run 
single-threaded, we will have a pool of STCs 
available.

However, unless your STC runs single-threaded (handling requests for only 1 
user at a time) it's not possible for you to run REXX execs invokiing ISPF 
services with proper security. 

It would require ensuring that none of the execs, or the services they invoke, 
perform any ATTACH requests., The new subtask created by ATTACH would not 
inherit the ACEE of the user on whose behalf you're running the request. (There 
is one exception to that, but it's used rarely enough that it probably won't 
apply to you. You would have to be using WLM services, and operating as a WLM 
servant to manage the requests that you're processing. Then, and only then as 
far as I know, would the user's ACEE propagate down to a new subtask.)
