Missing authorisation

** Act 1 **
"Hmm... I need to view the notification"
[tried to display the document]
You are not authorized to view Y6.
"..."
"I'll go by the database then"
[extracts material number from database]

"Heh heh, somebody stop me!"
"Now I need to download the file to check against the template"
[types SE38]
Missing authorization
"grrr..."
[turns to my colleague]
"Help!!"
[was shown backdoor]
"Heh heh"
[runs]
No change allowed
"Bloody!"
[storms out of room in annoyance]


** Act 2 **
"I shall go by the UNIX directory to find the records"
[retrieves data]
"Now I can verify what the user said"
You have no authorization for class objects
"@@%^(%&!@**#!!"

[turns to colleague]
"What's the table name for viewing classification objects?"
"No you can't, you have to use the functions"
"..."
"You want to use my ID?"
[whispers] "No we can't" - in reference to the Imperial edict that banned us from viewing a particular department's data without key users' supervision -.-
"Oh ok..."

** Act 3 **
"Ok, I verified that the user did change the data on our side and the information was sent over to the 3rd party. Did the other party process it correctly?"
[user called me]
"I'll supply her the information she needs. Meanwhile I need to verify that the sequence of changes on our side is correct"
[looked at the UNIX files again, there were no time stamp for the individual items]
"..."

[gave up]
"XXX, can you help me display this material? I can't work like this"
