It is fixed (from what I understand) in V5R4.  V5R3 PTF SI28283 fixes this 
issue.  You can set a SEP on any profile to which you have *USE rights. 
One caveat: the you must have one of the basic setups of authority to the 
other profile (i.e., '*USE', '*CHANGE', '*ALL', ...) and not something 
that ends up like '*USER DEF'.  A new PTF should be out shortly that 
checks the specific object and data authority rather than the brief 
'Object Authority description.

Our security officer would *never* allow all of our developers (<grin> not 
even me </grin>) *SERVICE special authority.  It really is too much of a 
security exposure.
