Turning off the requirement to have *allobj to look at the joblog of a currently running *ALLOBJ job.

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Some of my people here were in the habit of always submitting certain jobs 
under user profiles with *ALLOBJ.  Really frustrated them when we 
installed a certain release of OS years back and they could no longer look 
at the job log if they didn't have *ALLOBJ authority themselves.  I 
figured out how to turn this off so they could still look at these 
joblogs.  It's under the host part of application administration under 
iSeries Navigator.

Honestly I am a little reluctant to do so.  They've finally started 
cleaning up the process (getting their authorization lists right, not 
submitting the jobs under an *ALLOBJ kind of person, etc.) and I hate to 
derail that train.

I never figured out what the big security breach was to look at the joblog 
of a job running under a user with *ALLOBJ.  Is there any valid concern?
