RE: Programmer Authorities

["Gamache, Fred (HT-EX)" <FGamache@xxxxxxxx>]

We restrict programmers access to production programs, so they cannot 
change them without going through our change management program.  We 
also have revoked update rights to production files from the 
programmers.  Our programmers are the ones that have to fix data 
errors in production however, so although normally our programmer use 
a group profile of QPGMR, we have given them the ability to change 
their group profile, on request, to one that has update privileges to 
production data.  This profile is severely restricted, so they can't 
do much else but run a fix program, etc. to update data.  There is a 
job that monitors this and sends them a message once an hour reminding 
them that they have the production group profile, and reminds them to 
set their group profile back to QPGMR.

Hi!

How do other sites restrict their programming staff? Do you allow 
them
*JOBCTL or (shock horror) *ALLOBJ authority? Do they have access to 
live
programs and data or is there some form of change control? etc...

All comments welcome,

Tim Shepherd
