Subject: Changing user profiles without *SECADM; adding *SECADM without

We have a user profile with special authority *NONE that can do a CHGUSRPRF
and add *SECADM special authority to another profile.  This is done from a
command line on the initial menu.  This initial menu has three options:
EXECUTE OFFICE, EXECUTE MAPICS, and SIGN OFF.

How is this possible?  We are on V4R4 and at cume level CO252440.

The profile in question has USER CLASS *USER, GROUP PROFILE *NONE, OWNER
*USRPRFand LIMIT CAPABILITIES *PARTIAL.

I think this may be due to adopted authority, but I am not a programmer and
I have dug as far as I can into this.  Can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance.
