Method to dynamically elevate permissions on the mainframe

A computer storage medium storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• based on a user request from a user via a user device, dynamically creating, at a mainframe system, an access control environment element (ACEE) with an elevated permission structure;
• associating elevated class resources with the ACEE;
• validating the user with access to the elevated class resources;
• and
• logging actions performed by the user corresponding to the elevated class resources.

A computerized system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer storage medium storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by the processor, cause the processor to:
• receive, from a user device, a request from a user to an elevation class, the elevation class corresponding to elevated class resources of a mainframe system;
• determine, at the mainframe system, if the user has permission to the elevation class;
• based on the determining, register a user identification corresponding to the user and the elevation class in an elevated permission structure;
• and
• dynamically create an access control environment element (ACEE) with the elevated permission structure.
