It would be relatively easy to write a procedure and place it in a service program to return a *On or *Off (or anything you would like to return) depending if they are authorized or not to an object on the IFS.

Subject: RE: Checking User's Authority to Files in Root File System

As far as I can tell, the DSPOBJAUT command will only show you the authority to objects in the QSYS.LIB file system. I need to check the users authority to objects in the Root file system. Also, instead of returning a list of users who are authorized to the file, I would like just to be told if the user, that I provide to the command or API, is authorized (Yes or No). That way I don't have to sort through a list of authorized users and I don't have to worry if the user is authorized through a group name instead of a user name.

Thanks.

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.
