If you give a user profile *ALLOBJ, it is impossible to keep them out of any
library.  *ALLOBJ really means All Object.   The user can read anything.   An
enterprising user with just *ALLOBJ can quickly gain any other Special Authority
that they desire.

Consider using adopted authority instead to give them the extra authority they
need in a tightly scripted adopted authority routine.  This will prevent them
from getting too much authority all of the time.  If you describe why you want 
to
give them this secial authority, someone may have a way to accomplish your goal.

If you must give them *ALLOBJ, don't give them *AUDIT (or any other special
authority they don't absolutely need).  Then audit either their User Profile or
the objects that you are concerned about.  Tell the user that you have turned on
auditing and that any attempt to access the payroll library will result in
corrective action. (*SWAT!)

hope this helps,
