Adopt authority

[Guest.Visitor]

Vincent, Here is an example CL program that enables a user profile.

 PGM PARM(&USRPRF) DCL &USRPRF *CHAR LEN(10) DCL &MESAGE *CHAR LEN(80) CHKOBJ OBJ(QSYS/&USRPRF) OBJTYPE(*USRPRF) MONMSG MSGID(CPF9801) EXEC(DO) CHGVAR VAR(&MESAGE) VALUE('USERID- ' *CAT &USRPRF + *BCAT ' NOT FOUND.') SNDPGMMSG MSG(&MESAGE) TOPGMQ(*EXT) GOTO END ENDDO CHGUSRPRF USRPRF(&USRPRF) STATUS(*ENABLED) END: ENDPGM 

When you compile the program, set the USEADPAUT parameter to *YES. Then change the owner of the program to the Security Officer or Sec Admin using the CHGOBJOWN command. Mark McCall

Adopt authority

When I did adopted authority on programs, the parameter to use on the compile was USRPRF(*OWNER). Then, as Mark mentioned, make the owner the Security Officer or Security Administrator. Setting this parameter causes the program to run under the authority of the owner (now SECOFR or whatever) instead of under the authority of the user (the operator). The authority is adopted only while the program is active. The USEADPAUT parameter on the compile has a different but related purpose. If you compile PGM1 with adopted authority, then call PGM2 from PGM1, the USEADPAUT parameter on PGM2 tells system whether or not to continue to use the adopted authority on when running PGM2. Note however that if PGM1 has been ended before PGM2 is called, then the adopted authority has already ended and it doesn't matter what you put in the USEADPAUT parameter on PGM2.
