Loving the use of <details> to hide all the commands because they're quite similar and routine throughout the page.

I'm focusing on the table contents... the contents and how we explain them could guide what this page covers and how.

| To allow users to log on to the Zowe desktop through impersonation. | | [Configure security environment switching](#configure-security-environment-switching) |

All mention of "ZWESECUR" in this table should be rethought.

  • ZWESECUR is not the recommended job to run anymore.
  • It was also ever only one of now 4 ways to perform its actions (zwe, jcl, zosmf workflow, install wizard)
  • Because the operations of ZWESECUR are instructed to be done within a prior doc page, care should be taken not to present this as something that needs to be done again.

You may wish to reword all "Required if you have not run ZWESECUR" entries to
"Required. Tasks are done within zwe, workflow, install wizard or jcl-based security setup.

Or

"Required. Tasks are done within Zowe runtime configuration"

Or to call them out in a separate table or list by saying "The following tasks are needed by Zowe, and are normally handled during Zowe runtime configuration. Read each link to learn more about the tasks performed by that configuration"

| Required if you have not run `ZWESECUR` and are configuring your z/OS environment manually. This step describes how to configure the cross memory server for SAF to guard against access by non-privileged clients. | Application Framework | [Configure the cross memory server for SAF](#configure-the-cross-memory-server-for-saf) |
| Required for API Mediation Layer to map a client certificate to a z/OS identity. | API ML | [Configure main Zowe server to use client certificate identity mapping](#configure-main-zowe-server-to-use-client-certificate-identity-mapping) |
| Required for API ML to map the association between a z/OS user ID and a distributed user identity. | API ML | [Configure main Zowe server to use distributed identity mapping](#configure-main-zowe-server-to-use-distributed-identity-mapping) |
| To configure SAF Identity tokens on z/OS so that they can be used by Zowe components like zss or API Mediation Layer. | | [Configure signed SAF Identity tokens IDT](#configure-signed-saf-identity-tokens-idt) |

Meaning it is optional.
Our text in each box calls out "Required" a little differently for each but Maybe better to make a row of checkboxes for Required/Optional?

| Required for API Mediation Layer to map a client certificate to a z/OS identity. | API ML | [Configure main Zowe server to use client certificate identity mapping](#configure-main-zowe-server-to-use-client-certificate-identity-mapping) |

Wording could mislead here. This action is required if you want to use an optional feature.
Thus it is optional.
