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:
- Default wait time
- Run priority
- Time slice
Note: 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 IBM® i object, such as job queues, output queues, and sort sequence tables, you need to have the proper authority to the object. For more details about IBM i authorities, see Authority required for objects used by commands in the Security reference topic collection.
