Authority

Use this entry field to specify the authority given to users who are not specifically authorized to the created object.

Either type an authorization-list name (up to 10 characters) to secure the object (with a public authority of *AUTL), or click on the down arrow to select one of the following valid choices:

*CMDDFT
The default currently set on your host system. Not necessarily the installation defaults.
*LIBCRTAUT
The default public authority for created objects is taken from the CRTAUT keyword which is associated with the target library. The value is determined at create time. If the value of the CRTAUT keyword of the library changes after the create, the new value will not affect any existing objects.
*CHANGE
The user can perform all operations on the object except those limited to the owner or controlled by object existence authority and object management authority. The user can change and perform basic functions on the object. Change authority provides object operational authority and all data authority.
*ALL
The user can perform all operations except those limited to the owner or controlled by authorization list management authority. The user can control the object's existence, specify the security for the program, change the program, and perform basic functions on the program. The user can transfer ownership of the program.
*USE
The user can perform basic operations on the program, such as run a program or read a file. The user is prevented from changing the program. *USE authority provides object operational authority, read authority and execute authority.
*EXCLUDE
The user is prevented from accessing the program.
