What is the generally accepted practice for QIBM_IOSYSCFG_VIEW?

7.6 added QIBM_IOSYSCFG_VIEW. Along with adding this they tightened up a
whole lot of stuff. Stuff which was publicly available prior to 7.6.
Certain things now either require *IOSYSCFG or they user be added to
QIBM_IOSYSCFG_VIEW.

Adding all users to *IOSYSCFG allows a smooth transition from an earlier
version to 7.6 but has some SERIOUS consequences.

Just changing the default authority on QIBM_IOSYSCFG_VIEW to allow viewing
may be better.

Or you can piecemeal out users to QIBM_IOSYSCFG_VIEW as needed and leave
the default to *DENIED.

I am having vendor issues (GoAnywhere). They recommended the
QIBM_IOSYSCFG_VIEW for the user profile associated with their software.

For this, and more fun stuff associated with 7.6, check out:
