Combined authority

The types of combined authority include *USE authority, *CHANGE authority, *ALL authority, and *EXCLUDE authority.

*USE authority for a library (consisting of object operational authority, read authority, and execute authority) includes authority to:

• Use a library to find an object
• Display library contents
• Place a library in the library list
• Save a library (if sufficient authority to the object)
• Delete objects from the library (if the user is authorized to the object in the library)

*CHANGE authority for a library (consisting of object operational authority and all data authorities to the library) includes authority to:

• Use a library to find an object
• Display library contents
• Place a library in the library list
• Save a library (if sufficient authority to the object)
• Delete objects from the library (if the user is authorized to the object in the library)
• Add objects to the library.

*ALL authority provides all object authorities and data authorities. The user can delete the library, specify the security for the library, change the library, and display the library's description and contents.

*EXCLUDE authority prevents users from accessing an object.

To display the authority associated with your library, you may use the Display Object Authority (DSPOBJAUT) command.
