Is the user able to access my source?

I install my program library on customer's iSeries systems, including source programs. I do this because I often work close to the customer firm. How can I confirm that a user with SECOFR authority can modify, read, or save my RPG source program?
If a user has *ALLOBJ special authority (sometimes referred to as having SECOFR authority), there is nothing you can do to prevent them from accessing your source.
