Attempt to use permanent system object QPGMR without authority

We had an issue start this morning and I can't seem to figure out how to correct.

Any job that runs using the QPGMR profile, is failing. The same jobs ran fine yesterday, but today they are failing.

The error that I am getting is:

#auexcpt

Message . . . . : Attempt to use permanent system object QPGMR without
authority.
Cause . . . . . : You tried to use the permanent system object QPGMR without
having the correct authority.

As far as I know...nothing has changed on the system.

If anyone has any insight, I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks

Keep in mind that there are multiple objects named QPGMR -- *USRPRF, *SBSD, *MSGQ, *JOBQ, *CLS, *JOBD... and possibly others on your system.

Look at QAUDJRN, the system audit journal, for a T/AF (Authority Failure) entry to find who/what doesn't have the authority and what object is involved.

The *USRPRF is a good first guess. But if it doesn't work out...

Good point. I just assumed it was the profile, but it certainly could be another object.

The detailed message would probably tell us the object lib and type.

Tom's suggestion to check the security journal is a good one, however I find that many of the folks that are posting questions here don't have security auditing configured on their systems. In the event that is true in this case, here's how to do that:

...many ... don't have security auditing configured on their systems.

I know, but I gotta try.
