Once you secure objects with an authorization list, use the Edit Authorization List (EDTAUTL) command to add the users listed on your Authorization list form:
- Type EDTAUTL authorization-list-name.
- On the Edit Authorization list display, press F6 (Add new users).
- Enter the names of the users or groups and the authority they should have to the items on the list and press the Enter key. The new users should appear on the list.
