Re: Problems with adopting authority.

Rob Berendt asked:

It depends on the authority of the user profile that owns the program that
is using adopted authority. The help text for CRTUSRPRF says:

-------------
Restrictions: The user of this command must have:

 o  Security administrator (*SECADM) special authority

 o  Use (*USE) authority to the initial program, initial menu, job
    description, message queue, output queue, and
    attention-key-handling program (if specified)

 o  Change (*CHANGE) and object management (*OBJMGT) authorities to
    the group profile and supplemental group profiles (if
    specified).
--------------

So if the user profile that owns the program does not have *ALLOBJ special
authority then either it, or the caller of the program must have at least
*CHANGE plus *OBJMGT authority to the group profile.
