RE: Fix that SSA *Allobj Security Exposure!

I suggest that you may not need to give *ALL your users the authority to do backups and install stuff (restore from backups), which is my understanding of the function of *SAVSYS, since there are some security issues related to letting any person put any stuff on your system, rather than having some approval process in place.

We have a sign on other than from within the BPCS user group to do backups via GO SAVE and we used to use GO BACKUP.

This whole discussion thread was making me nervous! So I checked out my SSA user profile. The User Class is *USER and special authorities are *JOBCTL and *SAVSYS. That's it.

We are on V6.04.
