Re: Questions on USING ADOPTED AUTHORITY

So are you trying to turn off using authority adopted from a program
further up the call stack by doing
CHGPGM PGM(RTMENU02) USEADPAUT(*NO)
Is this supposed to your way of stopping people from running programs they
shouldn't? For example, if HANK is not supposed to use the Item master
maintenance application, and you've already locked him out of doing
updates on the data, but the program continues to allow him to do so, then
I think I would come up with an alternative method than aborting program
adoption.

I'm not a big fan of totally trusting menu authority, but if you've locked
them out of updating the data directly then adopted authority, and a menu
system which only allows the users to run the right programs, I find to be
acceptable. For example Infor allows you to control who can run item
master maintenance via their menu options.
