Keep your QNOTES user profile as originally created
Throughout the years I have seen a few times that the QNOTES user profile (*USRPRF) is changed in one way or another, causing undesirable and unknown effects. For example, recently, the QNOTES user profile on a system had the *ALLOBJ special authority, and this is not good, even dangerous I think. The only special authority that the Domino installation process in the System i (since the AS/400 days) gives to QNOTES is *IOSYSCFG.
Keep your Domino user profile as it should and you certainly will avoid problems.
Oh, and by the way, I recall vaguely that several years ago a customer had a group profile to manage its users and the user profile he was using to install Domino or create Domino servers was a member of a group which had the authorities required to do the job, but that’s not something supported by the product. Well, as you can see in the disclaimer on the sidebar, this is my own opinion. Just trust me and everything will work for you.
