<h1 class="topictitle1">Monitor public authority to objects</h1>
<div><p>This article describes the SECBATCH menu options and security commands
that you can use to monitor public authority to objects.</p>
<p><span class="uicontrol">Public authority</span> is the authority for an object
granted to all users.</p>
<p>For both simplicity and performance, most systems are set up so that most
objects are available to most users. Users are explicitly denied access to
certain confidential, security-sensitive objects rather than having to be
explicitly authorized to use every object. A few systems with high security
requirements take the opposite approach and authorize objects on a need-to-know
basis. On those systems, most objects are created with the public authority
set to *EXCLUDE. </p>
<p>This is an object-based system with many different types of objects. Most
object types do not contain sensitive information or perform security-relevant
functions. As a security administrator on a system with typical security needs,
you probably want to focus your attention on objects that require protection,
such as database files and programs. For other object types, you can just
set public authority that is sufficient for your applications, which for most
object types is *USE authority. </p>
<p>You can use the Print Public Authority (PRTPUBAUT) command to print information
about objects that public users can access. (A public user is anyone with
signon authority who does not have explicit authority to an object.) When
you use the PRTPUBAUT command, you can specify the object types, and libraries
or directories, that you want to examine. </p>
<p>You can use options <kbd class="userinput">11</kbd> or <kbd class="userinput">50</kbd> on
the SECBATCH menu to print the Publicly Authorized Objects report for the
object types that might have security implications. Use the general options
(<kbd class="userinput">18</kbd> and <kbd class="userinput">57</kbd>) to specify the object
type. You can print the changed version of this report regularly to see what
objects might require your attention.</p>
