User Authority Question (Probably belongs in Midrange, but I need input from the gurus)

I've been working on a RPG program that will facilitate the maintenance
of users and user profiles for our application. With "God" privileges
on the system, of course, tests under my profile work flawlessly.
However, when testing under a profile that is less than deity, I'm
experiencing some errors that I thought I could overcome in the compile
directives.

In true ILE fashion, I created some CL programs to accomplish the user
profile tasks at hand, and prototyped all of the calls. No problem
there. I also have no issue with the calls that create user profiles
failing if the user does not have *SECADM privileges and I can use the
FIXPWD command to reset user profiles if the user has the perceived
privilege, but certain commands should be available regardless. What is
the harm in retrieving user values if they can't be changed? :-)

So, to my question... What do I need to do to enable users to retrieve
user profile values for display within the program? I've compiled both
the CL and the RPG programs with owner authority. Should I temporarily
change the user's access in the CL program to be able to retrieve the
user profile information for display? If so, what are the appropriate
commands on entry and exit to accomplish the task without permanently
changing authority for the session/user?
