The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

... like the web admin. Which still relies upon IBMi security to change things outside of their responsibility.
Unless, of course, you give users *ALLOBJ, *JOBCTL, etc as a general rule.
IMHO, end users should be kept as far away from the bare metal as
possible. If they are running queries frequently, they should be
provided a proper UI that lets them do the queries they need without
having to use SQL.
The web admin interface is not a proper interface for end user. A web
interface is a great idea, but it should designed & developed to prevent
inappropriate access & updates.
IBM i security is fantastic, but the level of granularity needed to
manage a large user base with differing levels of access is (again, IMO)
a significant burden on administrators.
