Object management let's you change more than the text of an object.
*OBJMGT authority in conjunction with *OBJOPR authority allows you to
change the object properties, including moving, renaming, and specifying
security for the object.  In the case of PF's, this would include doing
the CLRPFM (which I always thought was non-intuitive, but that's just
the way it is).
