It sounds to me like the ERP application, or something it uses, has a
problem with adopted authority. That is, if the ERP application is
displaying a command line that allows the user to run the STRSQL command
then it sounds like the adopted authority is being propagated to the
command line.

To test this, I suggest that you ask the user to enter  DSPOBJAUT STRSQL
*CMD on that command line. If *ADOPTED is listed in the User column then
the authority to the STRSQL command is coming from adopted authority. If
*GROUP is displayed, then the authority is coming from one or more of their
group profiles.
