I am locking down a system to READ only rights.
Unfortunately the guys before me gave all users *ALLOBJ and assigned USE
ADOPTED AUTHORITY to all programs. Now I am rusty on this topic as its been
years since I last needed this.
I have changed the authority on all objects, revoking and re-granting *USE
rights to all objects that the system would allow me to change.
I created a new user ID with limited user rights getting its authority from
a new group profile that also only has *USE, *JOBCTL and *SPLCTL rights.
Problems:
1. There are about 5 programs that I do not have source for (Vendor
restriction) that have use adopted authority and the system will not permit
me to change that to *NO. I am *SECOFR. These programs are part of the
logon process which I do not want to re-write.
2. Something is allowing the files to be updated even though we only have
*USE rights.
Questions:
1. does the use of adopted authority apply only to the object that is being
executed or does it apply to all programs and objects used in the stack?
2. if yes, is there a way to turn it "off"?
TIA
