RE: Special Authority *SERVICE






I doesn't seem likely a programmer would need *SERVICE special authority
to debug a program.  The restriction is that they need *CHANGE rights to
the program or *USE rights to it and *SERVICE special authority.

Oh, I agree with you, and the general idea that you should remove it and

see if a need arises.

I just wondered if any programmer who did debugging would need *SERVICE 
authority on a newer box.

This person should not be debugging programs.  I'm the one who would do
that or possibly my boss, and he would probably ask me to do it.  This
person works with EDI.  Eric's previous message said that it could be
used for a communications trace but that would still be stretching
things quite a bit for this person's job function.

Half of those commands were commands commonly used in debugging a
program.  Hopefully that level of access is no longer needed (it was a
V4R3 source, right?).

I wonder if a clue would be anything with QSRV listed as having access
DSPOBJAUT OBJ(STRSST) OBJTYPE(*CMD)

There is a WRKOBJOWN command but I don't see a WRKOBJUSR command.

RE: Special Authority *SERVICE






Did a search on IBM and found these:

"OS/400 CL Reference V4R3"
9 topics have matches for: SERVICE special authority
CHKCMNTRC (Check Communications Trace) Command, 3.1.341
ADDPGM (Add Program) Command, 3.1.61
CHGHLLPTR (Change High-Level Language Pointer) Command, 3.1.206
CHGPGMVAR (Change Program Variable) Command, 3.1.278 CHGPTR (Change
Pointer) Command, 3.1.288 DSPPGMVAR (Display Program Variable) Command,
3.1.760 STRSST (Start System Service Tools) Command, 3.1.1265 PRTUSRPRF
(Print User Profile) Command, 3.1.957 STRDBG (Start Debug) Command,
3.1.1218

Hope this helps.

I happened to notice that the security of a person who used to be in the
I.T. department still has the special authority of *SERVICE.  My hunch
is that they don't need this anymore.  What actually does this give
them? Access to SST?  Both the help text and Infocenter say "Service
authority is granted to this user.  The user can perform service
functions."  That's like saying my cat can walk on four legs because he
has four legs.  I didn't find anything in the archives.  Thanks.
