Josh,

May be more work than you want, but you could use an ODBC exit point
program, that adopts a usrprf with *ALLOBJ. There are a couple of
techniques you can choose from to get adopted authority for this
profile and not for others.

I have created a user to be used by a report application that connects via JDBC. What I am looking for is an efficient way to grant this user read only access to large groups of files in our ERP data libraries without having to grant authority on each individual file. I was hoping to find a solution similar to giving the user *allobj special authority that would allow read only access.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
