No, the TSO user cannot issue VM commands directly. All they can do is issue a message to (for example, OPERATOR) on the the target system. PROP (or whatever automation you have) would see the message and the origin information, and decide what to do: issue a command, reject, forward, whatever. That's up to the action routine.
