Alan,

That is not true. Adopted authority is passed on in the call stack.

Say user PETER calls program A, that is owned by PAUL and has USRPRF(*OWNER). During execution of A the combined authorities of PETER and PAUL are used. When program A calls program B, that is owned by MARY and has USRPRF(*OWNER), authorities of PETER, PAUL and MARY are used.

Exceptions:
- When a program has USEADPAUT(*NO) it 'breaks the chain';
- SQL statements; when you use SQL in your program and want to use adopted authority you have to use SQL setting DYNUSRPRF(*OWNER);
- Stream files; filesystems other than QSYS.LIB have no notion of adopted authority; you're on your own 'out there'.
