In Security ... where those users are NO for SYS ... have YES exception for 
SYS010 ... also on the SYS main menu there is a way to change any work 
station data areas, such as those whose users ought not to be making 
adjustments via the first option on the pop-up menu (F14 from vanilla menus, 
F13 from user menus, and also accessible via attention key).

Is there an error message within her BPCS attempts, that is meaningful, such 
as at the second level, or have her SIGNOFF *LIST & you check the log of 
related messages.

One problem for us on 405 CD is that large numbers of users never remember 
that these settings work NOT for the NAME of the user signed-on wherever, but 
for whatever random user happens to use that work station address, so various 
people get accustomed to some particular settings, arrive at a work station 
other than the one they usually use & find that the settings are "messed up" 
so they "fix them" which means that they are now "messed up" for other people 
who use that station.

I had one power user with multi-sessions and inconsistent rules for work 
station & remembered keys who was telling me about intermittent problems - 
this stuff is not intuitive.
