Nope. I wrote a program that they call that checks their user ID to
determine what print queues they are allowed to access. They are strictly
limited. *WS doesn't work here. I'm a real b***ard when it comes to
restricting the users. It works because none of them know they could do
more.

Dale,
Don't your users use *ws to access spool files? That's the MAPICS-supplied
shortcut for wrksplf.

Bob,
I have a question. I have blocked command line access (Limit Capabilities
=
*YES), and the users only get a 4 character command line that they use to
enter a menu option # (for non-MAPICS users) or the 4 character MAPICS menu
option (for MAPICS users - we use MAPICS Menuing). How can they type "
*wrksplf"? I'm concerned about this security issue.....

Jeff, I have two thoughts on your e-mail
1--When you block command line access, users can still get back-door access
by typing *wrksplf. So you are likely to have only the illusion of
security.
In my view this is worse than no security.
2--IFM's security lets you control access by user and function. I realize
that IFM may be overkill in this case, but if security is "driving the bus"
then it is a much better way to go. Also, if someone did get access to IFM
files, they would retire before they got useful data.
