Other: DB2i documentation - privileges required - need "use" authority

Fitz Bushnell User

The DB2i documentation refers to (among other things) this related to the system catalog:

grant select on qsys2.group_ptf_info to username;

There is another required authority, "use", for the WRKPTFGRP *CMD object , e.g.

GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/WRKPTFGRP) OBJTYPE(*CMD) USER(username) AUT(*USE)

    Hi Fitz,

    Thank you for submitting this request. Highlighting the additional “*USE” authority requirement for the WRKPTFGRP *CMD object, alongside the documented SELECT privilege, is helpful feedback. I’ve added this to our documentation improvement backlog for review.

    To better understand the impact, could you clarify whether you’re seeing the product fail without the *USE authority on WRKPTFGRP, or if this authority is only required for a specific function or workflow?

    In other words, is this a general prerequisite for the product to operate correctly in your environment, or is it tied to a particular feature or configuration scenario?

    Any additional details about the behavior you’re observing (for example, specific error messages or the operation being performed) would help us determine whether this is a documentation gap or something we should investigate further.

    We’ll keep the community updated here as we learn more.

    Thanks,
    Vin
