Subject:      The internal transactions used for Global Heading Change in 5.0.1

I have a question about the Global Heading CHange functions in 5.0.1.
I used LMAP to do the global heading change, the following are the
screens I have got sequentially, and my question is from the last
screens (6) and (7).

(1) entered LMAP :

At the screen (6), it seems you have to be authorized to access the
internal transaction LGCM, otherwise after you enter 'C' for CREATE,
or 'U' for UPDATE/DELETE, or 'V' for VIEW, you got the message from
CICS said 'LGCM ACCESS DENIED..'.  Now what I am really worried about
is if the person who is authorized to use global change have to be
authorized to use LGCM, and in case he enters LGCM (the internal
transaction) directly in the CICS command environment by mistake, CICS
will get into a loop and it will make all the other terminals hang up, I
did that once and it really embarassed me.  Is there any way that
you can give people the authority to access LGCM, but he/she can not
enter it into cics command environment directly, he/she can only access
it by using the menu driven guide. ( Sorry I have to use this tedious
way to explain my question).  Thanks in advance.
