Re: Security Validation Questions

Hello Jeffrey,

If all you require is the group information for a specific user then the 
Retrieve User 
Information (QSYRTVUI) API will do that with the USRI0200 format.

The Retrieve Authorised Users (QSYRAUTU) API is a long-winded way of going 
about this.  However 
if you need all the users who are part of a particular group then this API is 
the correct choice.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
