Enabling the Object Structure authentication for all Object structures instead of granting an access to individual object structure

This idea is proposing with regards to the existing SRE case : TS013640568

we had the Map loading issue(Error 400) in Maximo 7.6.1.3 environment. However issue has been fixed in UAT environment without enabling the mxe.int.enableOSAuth system property to 1. We just provided the READ access to the MXAPIMESSAGE object structure for MAXEVERYONE Security group.

However the theory was that the code was only checking for the grant, not actually branching or initially needing enableosauth to be checked for at all.

Assuming that , If IBM Product support team is going to fix that bug in future then we would like to notified for the potential implications. Because there are 250 Object structures in Maximo where we need to provide the access manually which would be a very tedious and manual job.

Just a suggestion, if IBM can have an option or check box in Maximo where we can enable the OS authentication all at a time.
