The security that allows the AP clerk to post a batch is by the Mapics program "adopting" the authority of the AMAPICS user id (the program owner). The AP clerk would normally not have authority to query the file.
The issue with IT is that they often get assigned the AMAPICS authorities, or have *ALLOBJ. By restricting this on the programmers you can prevent normal access to the files. My question is when they need to write a query or program over these files, what hoops do they have to jump through to get the authority to do it? Does that mean you have to teach an Accounting manager how to grant authorities and give him permission to access the command line too?
Something to think about... -Greg

Please.. and thanks !! I have been told that AS400 security may conflict with mapics security and cause a termination... is there a good way to prevent this ??? For instance we will want the A/P clerk to hit the gelmas file for posting a batch of A/P... but not be able to qry the gelmas file ?? Thanks again

Yes you can secure the two files GELMAS and TEMGEN, but you will need to use AS/400 security for the IT level. It will require a lot of maintenance to ensure the files are secured, but it will provide the security you are looking for.
When your users are set up on the AS/400 do you give them *ALLOBJ authority? Hopefully not. That means they can query any file on your AS/400 without restrictions. My memory is failing me a little on how to set up the security on files on the AS/400 and my notes are at home. (Currently working on a Unix box.) Once you have the security required on the files, you will need to grant authority to the files your users need to write queries on. The IT developers can be given the level under *ALLOBJ with the exception of only a few members which would need the higher level of security.
The only problem with providing this level of security is the maintenance as someone with *ALLOBJ authority has to be the one to grant authority to the files when users need to write queries. But it would allow you to set up a formal procedure that has their supervisor approve their request for access to a particular file(s). It would also keep your shop employees from getting into areas they shouldn't etc. It would also solve the problem with the board.
need them. My notes have the details and it would be a solution much better than "trusting" the employees. With all the changes going on in the world companies really do need to reconsider how they have security set up on their AS/400 files as it is very easy to copy or write a query that could be sold to your competitors.
