This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

The implementation of an API to 'ask' for access to specific objects would cause major performance degradation of authority checking. The majority of authority checks are done below the MI so an upcall to XPF code would be needed for every authority check that involves the use of adopted authority.
Limiting the scope of adopted authority can be achieved using existing support by separating functions into multiple programs/service programs that are owned by different user profiles with a different set of authorities. The use of USEADPAUT(*NO) for the programs/service programs would also turn off the adoption of powerful users from previous code in the stack.
