RE: Setting up user security on development machine

[GKern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Review the "group profile" attribute on user profiles and understand why 
you want to use it.

Understand object authority and how and why you want to use adopted 
authority.

Then read up on the use of authorization lists.

These are a few things you should consider as they all enhance the method 
of managing object access. 

Since you are on a brand new box with brand new configuration it would be 
to your benefit to do this *IMMED as the advantages of not doing so will 
become apparent as soon as you need to start making adjustments to your 
programmers/consultants needs when the do occur. It may take a bit of time 
at first but these concepts will put you on the track to getting started.

I'd also suggest googling Wayne O, Evans as he has some excellent 
knowledge of security.

Also there is a book titled 'tips and tools for securing your as/400' - 
it's a bit dated but the basics are there.
