Re: Authority to libraries

Tom, you put that so politely :-). Not only am I not entirely accurate, I am totally inaccurate. I was thinking implementation as opposed to actuality.

Apologies for any confusion I may have caused.

Excuse me now, my humble pie is starting to burn.

Adopted authority ( USRPRF(*OWNER) ) overrides *PUBLIC authority. If you have explicity excluded a profile from the library then adopted authority is not going to help.


Paul, I don't think this is entirely accurate. Can you elaborate?

I have library(TEST) where user WEAKUSER has been granted *EXCLUDE from the library object. I have the following TESTCL CLP:

dsplib TEST

crtdupobj FILE TEST *file TEST FILEx data(*YES)

The CLP is usrprf(*OWNER) and *PUBLIC *USE; I am the owner and library TEST is all mine. WEAKUSER also has explicit *EXCLUDE from FILE.

When WEAKUSER runs TESTCL without usrprf(*OWNER), it fails immediately at the dsplib with CPF2182, Not authorized to library TEST. But usrprf(*OWNER) lets it run to completion with no errors. FILEX is created and WEAKUSER is the owner -- of course, there's now nothing that WEAKUSER can do with it.

I have a second file in TEST that I'm not authorized to. If I change the crtdupobj to reference that file, then TESTCL fails at crtdupobj.

Are there further issues?
