Re: Who was provided authority with GRTUSRPMN

As I think more about the GRTUSRPMN command I hearken back to the OfficeVision days.

reading the help text I see the following.
<help>
GRTUSRPMN TOUSER(JUDY) FORUSER(PEGGY)

JUDY is the administrative assistant for an executive. This command
allows JUDY to work with documents or folders for PEGGY that are not
personal.
</help>

Documents and folders is the key part.

I wonder if the OP thinking was this command would mirror and private authorities to library objects, that command would be GRTUSRAUT.

<help>
The Grant User Authority (GRTUSRAUT) command grants authority to a
user by referring to another user profile.
...
GRTUSRAUT USER(USRB) REFUSER(USRA)

This command grants the user profile USRB the same authorities that
USRA has for all objects that USRA owns (including object management
authority) or has authority to.
</help>

I think my original statements about the system audit journal still holds.

Happy Memorial Day.

Is there a SQL service or command that can show me who was given authority to a specific user profile that was provided by the GRTUSRPMN command?


What about using the QSYS2.OBJECT_PRIVILEGES view (available since IBM i version 7.1) to get a list ?
