I think what you might want is CHGLIBL to specify a new user library list, and 
CHGUSRPRF to change the group profile. The CHGUSRPRF command should be executed 
in a small program that does just that one function, and adopts authority of a 
user (like QSECOFR) that can change the user profile. Access to this program 
should also be tightly controlled, so you would need to adopt authority in any 
program that calls it. The calling program(s) authority should probably be that 
of the only user on the system that can run the CHGUSRPRF GRPPRF() program, and 
do nothing else. 

Have you considered using authorization lists for the security part? They can 
be changed while secured object is in use, and may make the CHGUSRPRF slight of 
hand unnecessary.
