RE: Authority to start a writer at the user level

We have a lot of writers and need to be able to have users control them. I spoke to Carol Woodbury at a conference about this. She confirmed that I'd have to use a wrapper to do this if they didn't have all the authority.

Pick up a copy of her book. There is a good example program by Paul Tuohy in there that will detail what each user can do on a specific writer/outq.

User would also either have to have a CL program behind a menu or not be a limited user.

Curious: What do you not like about a CL running adopted authority? Certainly could be an issue if the CL contained any command that provided a command line. But, STRPRTWTR doesn't.

Is there any way a user without *SPLCTL and *JOBCTL can start a printer
writer without adopting authority? I've been looking at IBM Software
Technical Document 421165187 which documents the creation of a CL so a
user can start a writer using adopted authority, but before I take this
approach, I want to confirm that if the authority for both the OUTQ and
DEVD is *PUBLIC *ALL and AUTCHK for the outqueue is *DTAAUT; the user
will still not have enough authority to start a writer.
