Many shops give *ALLOBJ authority to programmers, which is the wrong approach.

Most programmers in Rochester (including one that I have a business
relationship with) use *ALLOBJ.  When we test the code, this frequently
makes it break as users.

We make all programmers a user profile in the QPGMR group, and give them
*PGMR user class.  This seems to work well.  BTW, we also give all
programmers a second user profile with *ALLOBJ authority.  As to sensitive
libraries (e.g.:  payroll), we journal it, if you're in it - you're fired.
The policy has proven effective for years.
