    We have just installed Lawson 9.0.1 on our iseries boxes. With Lawson 8 we were able to lock down our libraries/objects to *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE by ensuring adopted authority was setup correctly within all the Lawson libraries. Lawson actually had documentation to do this. Lawson is now saying that Adopted Authority is not possible in Lawson 9. Another consultant told me that the only way to lockdown to *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE would be to put "LAWSON" as a supplemental profile on all our individual user profiles. Has anyone done this? Any ideas on how to lockdown libraries and objects without putting "LAWSON" on everyone's profile?

      Are you running with UserProfiles for Lawson users set to GRPPRF *NONE?

        No. The user profiles each have a particular Group Profile that is not associated with Lawson. The LAWSON profile that we created for installation is not used as a Supplemental profile either.

          Try this

          Data Library Object Authority OWNER=Lawson, *PUBLIC *USE
          Data files Object Authority OWNER=Lawson, *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE
          Lawson users UserProfile, GRPPRF *NONE, Suplimental Profile = *NONE

          This worked OK when I tested it. Forms and reports ran OK. Printfiles, however, were owned by the user only. Usually they are owned by the user and Lawson.

          This setup was suggested by a Lawson resource, and reported that it is working elsewhere.

          If users need external access to any file, i.e queries or batch jobs, an Authority Group can be created and added to the file's authorization list, as needed.
