Your profile is in WARNING mode. 

This is a "known problem" with WARNING mode on a dataset profile which
covers a catalog. The reason is that DFSMSdfp attempts various access
modes (even if not really required) and takes some different paths if
the access is allowed or not. That is, even if READ access is all that
is needed, DFSMSdfp will first attempt an ALTER. As an example, I think
this is because DFSMSdfp will allow a person to DELETE a dataset if they
have ALTER access to the catalog, even if they do not have ALTER access
to the dataset itself. I.e. ALTER acces to the catalog "trumps" lack of
ALTER access to the dataset.

This will "go away" when you take the profile out of WARNING mode. There
is no fix. This is a WAD (or BAD as the case may be).
