Jobsteps are authorized, not subtasks. The jobstep is either authorized or it is not (in the scenarios you describe below).
There is no (supported, official, "z/OS") way to transition from non-authorized to authorized. You cannot "become authorized" except at jobstep initiation time.

Im sure there is an Integrity exposure with these scenarios. 1)Can a Problem Program (Key 8) attach a Surtask that is authorized ? . 2)Can a Problem Program attach a subtask (with the DCB parameter) that is authorized ? The dcb is not in the steplib concatenation. . 3)Can a Problem Program invoke a Non Space Switching PC routine to Attach a Subtask that is Authorized ? . Im sure there is an Integrity exposure - could someone comment on the above. . .
