Pat...the profile under which the job is initially running has
*ALLOBJ. I'm seeing something interesting. If the target directory is
empty, the first copy works successfully. Every copy after that fails
with an authority issue. If the target directory is not empty, every
copy fails with insufficient authority. Any ideas about that?

 You can use adopted authority to get the authority to the user profile. In
other words, the program that calls the qsyseteuid() api can be owned by a
profile that has *allobj or a profile that has *use to the profile
represented by the UID you are trying to change to.  Only grant a profile
*use to another profile if it is a "service profile" that cannot be logged
into.

The qsyseteuid() api essentially does the same thing as the profile handle
APIs, but it only changes the profile udner which the job runs (not the
groups).  Note you could also accomplish the same thing by doing a
qsysetegid(), and you wouldn't lose the audit thread for the real profile
making the change.

Hello all...I'm trying to copy files from the IFS to a QNTC share. If
I sign on as a specific user, I have the authority to copy. I'm trying
to use qsyseteuid so I can run the program as any user. I do a WRKJOB
and see this:

Current user profile  . . . . . . . . . . . :   <special user>
Job user identity . . . . . . . . . . . . . :   <special user>
 Set by  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :     *DEFAULT

So I would think that I have the authority, but I get an 'insufficient
authority' message when attempting the copy. Is qsyseteuid not the
right procedure?

Thanks in advance...
