Not if you use the central scheduler. One of the capabilities of the central
scheduler is asking a client to run an arbitrary command under the user
associated with the client scheduler process or service. On Unix clients this
is almost inescapably the root user. On NT clients it is usually the system
account, which can do almost anything with resources belonging to the system
(as opposed to resources shared over the network by other systems). Even if
you don't give Operations root/admin passwords, control of the TSM central
scheduler will essentially give them root/admin privileges on all the clients.
