Re: IBM i Search & AF entries

Hi Justin,

I'd start with checking the developers library list. My guess is the user has libraries in their library list they don't have access to.

And since the criteria is *ALL files in my *LIBL, we are building a list of files to find the * source members. And the user doesn't have access to *ALL of the files in their *LIBL.

We have a single RDi user who generates hundreds of authority failures (AF) every time he does an IBM i Search (CTRL-H).

Target

Library *LIBL
File *
Member Filter *

Source members

The AF entries are all on PF-DTA *FILE objects. They appear before the actual searching begins.

What could cause this? Other users with the same privileges and groups haven't had this problem.
