After considering the potential of IASPs and their use cases, I decided to
submit an RFE to see whether IBM might facilitate the creation of micro
IASPs, as a more efficient and economical alternative to micro partitioning.

There was a good Midrange-List discussion in October 2014 about IASP
security in a multi-tenant environment. I've learned some things since
then. All tenants may share a single IBM i instance. Tenants still have
access to SYSBAS.

Securing each tenant IASP is simple. Exclude users or user groups from
unauthorized IASP device descriptions. Give them full control over their
own IASPs.

I haven't tried this, but it appears that you can isolate (override)
commands and other resources in SYSBAS by copying commands from say QSYS
library to the QSYSnnnn library that is located in the IASP. My
understanding that the IASP wizard in Navigator automatically creates
Qxxxxnnnn libraries in the IASP when it is created.
