Re: List of commands that need special authority.

[Rob Berendt <robertowenberendt@xxxxxxxxx>]

You might want to try this on your 7.6 machine (or documentation).  It all
changes.  Especially IOSYSCFG.
There's a lot more which require 'part' of IOSYSCFG.  Let me try to
explain.  To 'read' certain information under 7.6 you will either need
*IOSYSCFG, OR, you can use the new function to give them IOSYSCFG read
capability.  See QIBM_IOSYSCFG_VIEW
