You can read all about adopted authority in the OS/400 Security
Reference Manual. The V4R5 version can be found here. The essence of what you will learn is that a program can be made to
always run under the authority of the program's owner, in addition to
any authority borne by the calling user. It's an awfully handy way of
providing elevated authority within a limited scope, but as you can
imagine it does have its risks and limitations.
Also look at the document, "Tips and tools for securing your iSeries"
the V5R2 version.
The table of contents for this online manual can be searched for
"adopt". The topics there include excellent discussions as well as
providing further links to related topics.
In general, the iSeries Information Center is an excellent source of
information and can be found here. Once you navigate through the opening panels to your language and the version of
OS/400 that fits you, bookmark the resulting page for later.
