Ability to change the ownership of a message monitor set up through Navigator for i to my Group Profile or other USRPRF

Using IBM Navigator for i to set up message monitor on QSYSOPR message, when triggering a SNDDST command the command is issued as if the owner of the message monitor were sending it. I would like it to come from my group profile or another generic support profile and not me personally


Use Case:

When sending the SNDDST email, the owner of the message monitor would not be the sender of the email. It should be either my group profile or a generic support profile. If I could change the ownership of the monitor then this could be achieved

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a HIGH priority requirement that is important to address. There is no current workaround, the option is to make changes to a monitor needs to available when you have *ALLOBJ authority and to be able to change the owner.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    To find out how CEAC help to shape the future of IBM i, see CEAC @ ibm.biz/BdYSYj and the article "The Five Hottest IBM i RFEs Of The Quarter" at ibm.biz/BdYSZT
