This may be a silly question, but I'll ask anyway: why not just let the
program check the user id before allowing any particular level of access to
the files? I'm guessing that in this situation, that may be necessary,
given the fact that everyone has special authority *ALLOBJ.


Because the fact that users have *ALLOBJ means they don't have to use a
program to read/change/delete data...or even the program objects.

If you don't already have this book, I highly recommend it.
