It's working as designed. I've been down this road too. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/index.htm?info/cl/chgaut.htm Restrictions: 1. A user must either be the owner of the object or have *ALLOBJ special authority to use this command on an object. -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of richard@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2007 7:19 PM To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: IFS File CHGAUT Oddity Here's an interesting one: We have a process where we need to do a CHGAUT command on an IFS file to change authorities. Ran into an odd situation where *PUBLIC has *RWX authority to an IFS file, but USERX cannot call the CHGAUT command to change authorities. The file is owned by USERY. USERY can call CHGAUT. Here's the error that occurs: CPFA0B1 - "Requested operation not allowed. Access problem." Hmmmm I thought. Full object authority should allow me to run CHGAUT against an object. Next I added an individual user authority for USERX to the file and set the user's authority to *RWX on the file and gave the user full object authorities. Still CHGAUT failed when called by USERX. Here's the interesting thing. USERX can still open/read/write or delete the file. Seems that only the owner of an IFS file or someone with *ALLOBJ authority can issue a CHGAUT command against an IFS file object even if they have full rights. Any thoughts on this ?
