Does anyone know a way, particularly an API, to check if a user has
authority to a file? I found an API to check the user's authority to an
object in the QSYS.LIB file system, but I need to be able to check the
user's authority to a file in the Root file system. I'm writing a program
that will only show certain options if the users has access the authority to
use those files.

DSPOBJAUT will show you what authority a user has to most anything. You can
also specify an OUTFILE to keep the data in if you want to check it and
perform a routine based on their authority.
