RE: Problems with adopting authority

Why is it so much better to create a user profile with all the authorities 
of QSECOFR, and have the program owned by that user profile than just to 
have it owned by QSECOFR?

Rob:

I'd try it this way...

1. Leave owner as QSECOFR (or better, a *SECOFR but not QSECOFR).
2. Leave program as usrprf( *OWNER ).
3. Early in the program, switch to an authorized profile that can execute 
user profile changes.
4. Call QCAPCMD (or whatever) to do the work.
5. Then immediately switch back to whatever user was running the job 
(possibly QTCP).

This way, usrprf(*OWNER) has authority to switch both ways and the 
switched-to profile has authority to do the work without requiring adopted 
authority.

You should only need to create the one switched-to profile unless you also 
choose to create the alternative *SECOFR profile (a very good idea, 
avoiding QSECOFR).
