Re: Edit Object Authority for Library, Program, File and User Security.....

You will have to do EXACTLY the same thing for Program B and whatever files
that program requires

Ah yes - Security.... it brings back memories.... NONE of them good, a real
pain the @#$$$$$ to get to the final result

I changed programs to usrprf(*owner), libraries to AUT(*use) and files
to AUT(*exclude). Programs have usrprf(*owner). So in interactive
environment if I call a program A directly from a menu the access to the
files with *EXCLUDE now works. But I am getting CPF4101 error message
when I am calling a program B from program A.

If USERA is running PGMA in LIBA (with adopted authority suitable
for the file), and the file/table exists in LIBB (to which USERA is
*Exclude), would the program be able to access the file?

As long as the owner of PGMA has suitable authority to the file in
LIBB then yes.

Would a USROPN or a system-open make any difference?

No.

A comment on the previous appends: If you need to add an *EXCLUDE
library to the library list then this must be done either in an
adopting program or from a program that inherits authority from an
adopting program higher in the stack. As I recall such a library
cannot be specified in the user's sign-on job description because the
initial library is built before the initial program is given control
thus adopted authority is not yet in place.
