RE: Adopting authority not?

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

I think I see what you are saying.  If I make a program owned by ADOPT, 
and the program is *OWNER and not *USER, and access to the object is SSA 
*ALL and *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE, and ADOPT has 
Group profile  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   SSA
Supplemental groups  . . . . . . . . . . . :   SSA01
                                               SSA13
                                               SSA23
                                               SSA26
                                               SSA30
                                               SSA32
                                               SSA33
                                               SSA36
                                               SSA52
                                               SSA70
                                               SSA78
                                               SSA89

Then adopted authority cannot come from any of the groups listed above. 
However that has not been what I've seen in practice.  The program can 
easily update data, read data, etc.  However it cannot do any member 
operations, like CLRPFM, etc.  And by SSA *ALL I mean *ALL, all options 
are checked, object and data.  (Did I mention that I hate multiple member 
files?  Did I mention that I prefer the SQL unqualified DELETE FROM FILE 
with REUSEDLT(*YES) over CLRPFM?)

The reason that we don't make SSA the owner of the program is that there 
are several objects owned by SSA01, etc that SSA does not have access to.

We could try adding ADOPT to that object explicitly to see if that works. 
But that will be a major pain to determine all the objects that will have 
to be modified.

Rob:

This should work as long as the following comment from John Earl is 
heeded:

Commonly, the authority is granted to the program *OWNER, not to one of 
the *OWNER's group profiles -- e.g., make the group profile be *OWNER.

Of course, I don't see that there's anything to stop *OWNER from switching 
to one of its group profiles if any specific operation required it and 
switching is authorized.
