RE: Special Authority *SERVICE

Half of those commands were commands commonly used in debugging a program. 
 Hopefully that level of access is no longer needed (it was a V4R3 source, 
right?).

I wonder if a clue would be anything with QSRV listed as having access
DSPOBJAUT OBJ(STRSST) OBJTYPE(*CMD)

There is a WRKOBJOWN command but I don't see a WRKOBJUSR command.

I happened to notice that the security of a person who used to be in the
I.T. department still has the special authority of *SERVICE.  My hunch is
that they don't need this anymore.  What actually does this give them?
Access to SST?  Both the help text and Infocenter say "Service authority 
is
granted to this user.  The user can perform service functions."  That's
like saying my cat can walk on four legs because he has four legs.  I
didn't find anything in the archives.  Thanks.
