How to restrict IBM navigator for i access Merged

Good evening,
For several months we have been working on several PMR 46490 and 22843 to restrict several options from the navigator for i since unauthorized users can access several of these, a document was sent with the evidence but again we reject the RFC as we could proceed?


Use Case:

We attach the options where a restricted user can access, from the green screen you can not manage them but from the navigator for i if you can do it.

    CAAC would like to offer some help, but is not authorized to see your PMRs. If you would be willing to share information CAAC requested below, they may be able to help. Please respond by adding a public or private Comment to this RFE.

    The CAAC has reviewed this RFE. More information is needed. What are some examples of Navigator functions that you do not want users to access, and examples of functions you want to allow users to access?

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key 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.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac

    For more details about CAAC's role with RFEs, see http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/Blogs/i-Can/May-2017/COMMON-Americas-Advisory-Council-%28CAAC%29-and-RFEs/

    IBM has modified some of the information in this request. RFE communications are intended to be English only, so we have modified the Description and Use Case to translate from Spanish to English. Please contact us if you have any questions, or to improve this machine translation.

    Original Description was:

    Buenas tardes Estimados,
    Desde hace varios meses se ha venido trabajando en varios PMR 46490 y 22843 para restringir varias opciones desde el navigator for i ya que usuarios sin autorización pueden acceder a varias de estas, se envio un documento con la evidencia pero nuevamente nos rechazan el RFC como podríamos proceder?

    Original Use case was:

    Adjuntamos las opciones donde puede acceder un usuario restringido, desde pantalla verde no las puede gestionar pero desde el navigator for i si lo puede realizar.
