RE: Do I understand USRPRF *OWNER USEADPAUT *YES correctly?

["Wilt, Charles" <CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pete,

The overrides don't carry any authority.

The user's authority to the overridden-to object will be checked when the file 
is opened for I/O.  The standard OS/400 authority checking is used with the 
target being the overridden-to file.

So, if your JDBC user didn't have authority prior to the overrides, he's not 
going to have authority after the OVRDBF is done.

(Note, I put together a quick test of this to confirm ;-)
