That makes sense to me. I do have *allobj authority thru the group I
belong to.

I'll see about changing that.  good advice from where I sit.


Darrell:
The following is _not_ recommended as a standard practice. It is simply a procedural safeguard to assist temporarily until a solid scheme is put in place.
Because you receive *ALLOBJ from a group profile, you can still give yourself a degree of protection. Simply grant yourself *USE (or whatever the limit should be, including *EXCLUDE) authority to the files in question and most normal activity should be safer. That's because 'private' authority is checked first. 'Group' authority is checked when no private authority is available. (It can be more complex than that, but this is just a safeguard.) 

When the system finds your explicit private authority, it stops looking.
Once again, this is _not_ intended to be permanent. It can be circumvented easily. But circumvention _generally_ requires a deliberate action, and that helps it to be a procedural safeguard.
