RE: Auditing users with elevated privileges.

I am getting many flags where the CURRENT_USER of a job are QSECOFR. It's making it really hard to sort the wheat from the chaff.

To me this points to IBM swapping profiles to QSECOFR for many APIs. We've checked and we are not swapping profiles nor are we adopting authority of QSECOFR.

This one job does a
Eval Cmd = 'SAVOBJ OBJ('+%trim(PmQuery)+') LIB(' +
%Trim(CurLib) + ') ' +
'DEV(*SAVF) ' +
'OBJTYPE(*QRYDFN) ' +
'SAVF(QTEMP/QRYSAVF) ' +
'UPDHST(*NO) ' +
'SAVACT(*SYSDFN) '
ExSr $System

This generates CA and ZC entries with a current user profile of QSECOFR even though the job runs as a profile with much less authority.
Object types are *DIR and *STMF.
Based on the PATH_NAME values of
/QSR/QSR
/QSR/QSR/HL
Etc
I assume it's the save/restore flight recorders.

SELECT x.*
FROM TABLE (QSYS2.Display_Journal(
JOURNAL_LIBRARY => 'QSYS',
JOURNAL_NAME => 'QAUDJRN',
STARTING_RECEIVER_LIBRARY => 'QGPL',
STARTING_RECEIVER_NAME => '*CURCHAIN',
STARTING_TIMESTAMP => TIMESTAMP('2019-07-26-04.00.02'),
ENDING_TIMESTAMP => TIMESTAMP('2019-07-26-04.02.05')
)) X
WHERE ( x."JOB_NAME" = 'ERPQRYFLST')
;
