Question

iSeries Object Authority vs. Menu Security

OS/400 and iSeries, iSeries security, AS/400 security

Hello,
I am new to iSeries and OS/400. Here is my question:
Let's say in a level 30 security environment, user access is controlled through a menu, which does not alow them to access any sensitive objects. But a number of sensitive objects have been assigned *ALL authority for *PUBLIC. Can these users somehow still have access to those sensitive objects because of the *ALL for *PUBLIC authority assigned to them, or would that be impossible due to their menu access?

Hi,

That would depend on your menus and whether the user has access to a command line or not. If your menus don't use the objects and your users don't have access to a command line then your users cannot get access to them.
