RE: Regarding Object Authority - Something strange

Off the top of my head, I believe you'd need *EXIST and/or *ALTER to the object.

Unlike UPDDTA, SEU copies the member into a temporary location while you are 
editing then copies the member back.

So basically, you need the same authority as you'd need to do a CPYF 
MBR(*REPLACE).

There's a difference between being able to modify a record and being able to 
alter and object by deleting a member.
