Re: Not authorized to spooled file - CPF3492

i think yes, "but ...  ".
I  used qsecofr to create & own both an outq & the lib it is in, and
excluded *public from both. Copied 2 spools into the outq, created a new
profile, user class *user & only special attr was *splctl.
New user can read & display all spools in qsecofr owned & *public excluded
outq.
It's a lengthy explanation as to how to setup secure outqs (see prev posts
or better yet, Security Ref or I like Carol Woodbury's Security book and
it's detailed explanation).
I think the key is the CRTOUTQ  parm DSPDTA  with default *NO and here is
help text:
( and note the phrase "unless they have some special authority" (which is
*splctl))
                    Display any file (DSPDTA) - Help
Specifies whether users who have authority to read the output queue can
display the data of any spooled file on the queue or only the data in
their own files.
*NO
    Users authorized to use the queue can display, copy, or send the
    data from their own files only, unless they have some special
    authority.
 *YES
    Any user having authority to read the queue can display, copy, or
    send the data of any file on the queue.
