gcraill, but that will enable user X to control all user's spool file. Anyway to limit user X to spool file of user Y only?

write your own spoolfile access program and control the security yourself.
remove access to wrksplf dspsplf etc...... make it menu driven.

there are examples on the site that use api's to list spooled files in a
specific outqueue as well as list all outqueues on the system.
these two programs together would be a great start.
