Subject: List of commands that need special authority.

I’m trying to do some security clean up on several LPARs. While a needed improvement, the Authority Collection process doesn’t quite get everything that I need. I wanted to track every command that needs a special authority. For instance, putting auditing on say, CRTLINEETH command, which needs IOSYSCFG. I haven’t figured out a way to get a list and there’s no way I will do F1 on all the commands on the system and record if, and what, special authority that a command would need.
Any ideas how to track that down?
As I’ve told the folks that I’ve trained on the iSeries over the years, “F1 and F4 are your friend, use them.”, but not in this case 😊
TIA
Mike.
