While I can see that granting authority to an object _MIGHT_ make BPCS work, 
I simply cannot see why granting said authority would make it FAIL.  Nor can 
I see removing authority make it _WORK_.  QPGMR is an IBM-supplied user 
profile, and QSYGETPH is an IBM-supplied object.  As much as I gripe about 
SSA's implementation of security on the AS/400, I have _NEVER_ seen authority 
have to be granted to, nor removed from, IBM objects in order for BPCS to 
work in my many years of BPCS experience.  There _MUST_ be a third option 
that you're not seeing...
