This should work as long as the following comment from John Earl is heeded:

Commonly, the authority is granted to the program *OWNER, not to one of the 
*OWNER's group profiles -- e.g., make the group profile be *OWNER.

Of course, I don't see that there's anything to stop *OWNER from switching to 
one of its group profiles if any specific operation required it and switching 
is authorized.
