Console authority is a combination of the AUTH= attribute of the console and any security profiles (e.g., OPERCMDS) established to protect specific commands that might be issued.by certain users/consoles. That's it.
Perhaps if you issue "D C,*" from both console environments, it will provide a warm/fuzzy for him/her. For example, here is an AUTH=MASTER EMCS console:
