Adopting authority issue

I have a program(PGMA) that is owned by QSECOFR and is user is set to
*OWNER.  This program performs a CRTUSRPRF.  The profile being created
is using a supplemental group that is owned by QSECOFR 
                            Edit Object Authority

 

Object . . . . . . . :   GRP_GASCTL      Owner  . . . . . . . :
QSECOFR     
  Library  . . . . . :     QSYS          Primary group  . . . :   *NONE

Object type  . . . . :   *USRPRF         ASP device . . . . . :
*SYSBAS     
 

Type changes to current authorities, press Enter.

 

 

 

                           Object     -----Object------
------Data-------   
User         Group        Authority   O   M   E   A   R   R   A   U   D
E   
*PUBLIC                   *EXCLUDE

*GROUP       QSECOFR      *ALL        X   X   X   X   X   X   X   X   X
X   
WALTOND                   USER DEF    X   X               X   X   X   X

GRP_GASCTL                USER DEF    X   X               X   X   X   X
X   

However when I run the program, I'm told I don't have authority to the
supplemental group.  

This is done when a group of programs to process new users.  I thought
maybe somewhere in the call stack there was a problem, so I created a
test program to do the same thing.  Same results.  

IF the program is adopting QSECOFR, shouldn't it have authority to this.


Thanks.
