System startup porgram and adopted authority

System is V7R3
When the system IPL's the startup program specified in the system value
QSTRUPPGM is run.

The job is started with job description QSYS/QSTRUPJD and by default this
job description has user profile QPGMR

I had always changed the startup program to be owned by QSECOFR and use
USRPRF(*OWNER)

I believed the program would then adopt QSECOFR authority.

I am looking at a joblog for the startup program where an error occurred
as the user QPGMR was not authorised to the CHGNFSEXP as the profile does
not have IOSYSCFG special authority.

This is true, QPGMR does not have IOSYSCFG and QSECOFR does have IOSYSCFG

My thought is to change the user in the QSYS/QSTRUPJD to QSECOFR.

But I do not understand why the program is not running with QSECOFR
authority ?

Any suggestions from the group ?
