symptom
Error: 'Not authorized to start subsystems.'

symptom
Error occurs when running the start up program on the AS/400 after IPL.

cause
The user profile that is running the start up program does not have authority to start the VigilEnt subsystems.

fix

The user profile must have *JOBCTL special authority and have *USE object authority to the subsystem. 

To give the user profile *USE object authority to the subsystem follow these steps:

1. On an AS/400 command line type EDTOBJAUT, and press F4.

2. In the Object field, indicate the subsystem.

3. In the Library field, indicate the library that the subsystem is in.

4. In the Object Type indicate *SBSD, and press Enter.

5. Press F6=Add new users and indicate the user profile and *USE object authority, and press Enter.

An alternative method is to authorize the user profile that is running the start up program to the VigilEnt product. However, granting a user authority to the VigilEnt product enables that user to do anything within the product itself.
