RE: Creating a directory but do not have authority to it.

Rob,

What are the user's data authorities for the directory above the one he
created?

Sounds like he may have READ but not DELETE.

                   Data     -------------Data Authorities-------------  
Opt  User        Authority  Objopr  Read  Add  Update  Delete  Execute  
                                                                        
     *PUBLIC     *RWX         X      X     X     X       X        X     
     CWILT       *RWX         X      X     X     X       X        X
