You need *SECADM in order to perform the function of changing any passwords other than your own. You also need at least object management (*OBJMGT) and use (*USE) authority to whatever profiles are to be changed.

The authorities can be adopted by running an adopted-authority program.

*SECADM needs to compile a cl with *OWNER authority
The CL can issue the required command.
CHGUSRPRF
The program could accept user profile as an input.-this could be a display file.
1. Generate a random password –
2. Update the usrprof password
3. Reset PWDEXP to *YES
4. Change Status to *ENABLED
5. Send a copy of the Password to the person running the request. – display on the screen

*SECADM can grant run authority to the specific users who need to run this command.
