It may take a bit of investigation to determine exactly what authorities programmers require, but they rarely need all-encompassing special authorities.
Laws and regulations require that users be given only enough authority to do the tasks associated with their jobs. In addition, auditors require IT departments to reduce the number of "powerful" users on the system. As a result, the programming staff comes under scrutiny. Why? Because they have often been given lots of power in the past. In i5/OS terms, that means programmers have been given the *ALLOBJ special authority.
