Re: User can't delete file

["Bob Crothers" <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have OWNER(*GRPPRF), you will not know who really created the
object.

Instead, use GRPAUT(*ALL), which means when somebody creates an object,
it will still be owned by them, but everybody in the group will have
full authority to it.

I do agree that you should create a SYSOP profile that both ROB and
ANNA are members of.
