Proper authority

 

To make most changes to a job's attributes, you need to have job control special authority (*JOBCTL) or your user profile matches the job user identity of the job being changed.

There are a few attributes where having *JOBCTL special authority is necessary to make any changes. These attributes are:

If you plan to make changes to the job's accounting code, you need *USE authority to the Change Accounting Code (CHGACGCDE) command in addition to *JOBCTL special authority or a user profile matching the job's job user identity.

For any job attributes that refer to an i5/OS® object, such as job queues, output queues, and sort sequence tables, then you need to have the proper authority to the object. For more details on i5/OS authorities, see Appendix D Authorities Required for Objects Used by Commands in the iSeries™ Security Reference.
