The server saves this security data when it saves the object, as follows:<ul><li>Public authority</li> <li>Owner and owner authority</li> <li>Primary group and primary group authority</li> <li>Authorization list linked to object</li> </ul> </div> <p>To save security data, the command does not require that your server be in a restricted state. However, you cannot delete user profiles while the server saves security data. If you change user profiles or grant authority while you save security data, your saved information may not reflect the changes.</p> <p>To reduce the size of a large user profile, do one or more of the following: </p> <ul><li>Transfer ownership of some objects to another user profile.</li> <li>Remove the private authority to some objects for that user profile.</li> </ul> <p>Your server stores authority information for objects in the /QNTC file systems. The information about iSeries™ Integration for Windows<sup>®</sup> Server describes how to save security data for Windows Server.</p> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you use authorization lists to secure objects in library QSYS, you should write a program to produce a file of those objects. Include this file in the save. This is because the association between the object and the authorization list is lost during a restore operation due to QSYS being restored prior to user profiles.
