The authority collector is a feature that was introduced in the IBM i operating system back in 7.3!! So it’s certainly not new, BUT it’s incredibly powerful. In this iSee we will show you the Users support for the authority collector. What does this mean ? When enabled for a user profile, EVERY (yea.. sorry to yell) object that user profile touches (did I mention every object…) is recorded in a flight recorder, it will also show you the authority needed to touch that object and how the user ended up getting the needed authority . If you are looking to change your security posture, removing user from have say *ALLOBJ special authority, this iSee will give you the tools you need to see what changes you need to make so that user can continue to do their job but just not have excessive authority.
