RE: SYS21 - /INP question

As with any change to authority or modification to software, the obvious 
questions need to be asked:
- Why is the change necessary?
- What has changed to require the user to have this access now, where they 
haven't had it before?
- If the access isn't granted, what's the exposure (cost) to the company?

Then at least you have all the information you need to make a decision.  In the 
past, we've used a rule whereby no user can request access for themselves, it 
has to come from the users' manager.  That's one way to take IT sort of out of 
this decision making process.

Hi all,

Recently our company's buyer asked me for permissions to access the /INP
menus. My knowledge of any contraindications for this are limited. However I
know that the former MIS manager seemed to have very specific opinions about
who should be allowed to go where in terms of potential business conflicts
of interests. Unfortunately I was only here for three or so days before she
left and we did not have time to discuss in-depth aspects of System 21 other
than a few AS/400 commands.

>From my vantage I do not see any problems but if that were the case
wouldn't
the buyer already have access? I hate to tell her "no" for no better reason
than, "There must've be a reason the former MIS mgr didn't want you in
there."

Anyway, your opinion is always appreciated.

Alan
