Re: Installing running applications as QSECOFR ( was RE: Anti-virus for i5OS )

I would argue that you don't need QSECOFR for most operations. If the product is required to adopt authority of profiles, it would be just as easy to grant *USE authority to those profiles which it needs to adopt. There is rarely a need to have QSECOFR rights.

In those rare cases where it might be required, what I'd like to see is something like su in Linux, where you would have to key in the QSECOFR profile to execute a particular function.
