Re: object authority problem

I know that a similar situation occurs in BPCS.  Some program in between 
BPCSMENU and the program that gives you the command line adopts authority 
and passes it on down the line.

Ed's check to see if this is the issue is right on.

You can look at all the programs in your call stack to see which one is 
the culprit (the one with USRPRF(*OWNER)).  And then the other pass it on 
down with USEADPAUT(*YES).  If you can figure this out then you'll finally 
know the difference between these two parameters.

Which then begs the question does that particular program owner need 
access to STRSQL?  Or does it really need an owner with *ALLOBJ?  That 
might be easier (and safer) than attempting to modify your ERP package to 
stop the funky adoption.

It sounds to me like the ERP application, or something it uses, has a
problem with adopted authority. That is, if the ERP application is
displaying a command line that allows the user to run the STRSQL command
then it sounds like the adopted authority is being propagated to the
command line.

To test this, I suggest that you ask the user to enter  DSPOBJAUT STRSQL
*CMD on that command line. If *ADOPTED is listed in the User column then
the authority to the STRSQL command is coming from adopted authority. If
*GROUP is displayed, then the authority is coming from one or more of 
their
group profiles.
