Ugh! :-( If the solution must be so easy, so as to avoid doing the legwork required to find and implement a proper fix, then surely much easier... would be to just grant the special authority (SPCAUT) of *ALLOBJ to the user(s); offered as an at least somewhat sardonic reply, though seriously, a possibly much better [temporary] resolution. Certainly much easier to reverse the CHGUSRPRF for a user that previously did not have the special authority, than to reset the proper\expected authority to each object generically granted some [quite possibly undesirable] authorities. Of course reviewing for the T-AF audit entries [as alluded by Bryan], although possibly tedious, is at least one way to track down to what resources a job\user is not authorized.
