What do you want to bet that the AMAPICS user profile doesn't have
security officer security?  

1. Why are you using adopted authority on this program?
2. If you must use adopted authority, you are giving that user all the
   access that the owner of the object has.
3. If you must use adopted authority, have it owned by a user with a
   little less security than someone with security officer security.
4. If at all possible, take away the adopted authority on this program,
   and every other one you can.
5. Yes, your security is breached with this.

        Bryan,
             If the user doesn't need a command line, you could change their
        profile to LMTCPB(*YES), which will prevent them from invoking a
command
        line.
        Might the initial object be owned by a profile with *SECADM
authority ?
        They might be inheriting authority from it ? Do they have an initial
pgm
        or an initial menu ? I'd like to see all the usrprf attributes.

        By the way, what security level are you at ? (DSPSYSVAL QSECURITY).

        We have a user profile with special authority *NONE that can do a

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?
