Hi

Checking order;

1. Individual User Profile
        All object special authority?
        Object Authority to object?
        Authorization List with object?

2. Group Profile
        All object special authority?
        Object authority to object?
        Authorization List with Object?

3. Public Authority
        Object Authority(public authority>)
        Authorization list with object?

Soltis's book says that;

"The first authority that is found is used, unless there is a program
adoption.  In this case, the adopted authority is added to the first
authority found in the search."

(BTW Sys/38 was accumulative.  Big change when we moved to AS/400)

My question if you program adopts, does it sloooow down the checking???
