I have always been a little confused with how to utilize the primary group
profile (PGP) object attribute in a general application security scheme.

I have used carefully thought out object ownership schemes along with
authority lists and program adoption to control access to our production
application objects and this has work very well. However, I've never taken
into account primary group profiles.

Has anyone used PGP's as an integral part of their application security
scheme?

Is this an attribute that might be useful in setting up a simple yet
effective security scheme for controlling access to IFS objects?

I wonder why this attribute even exists? IBM must have had a good reason for
it... right?

Inquiring minds want to know .... <smile>
