Note:
  1. To perform this operation, you must be the owner of the file or have *ALLOBJ special authority.

    QOPT does not maintain or honor object level authorities associated with optical files and directories. Therefore, any attempt to change or revoke object level authorities is not allowed. The only allowed value for the New object authorities (OBJAUT) parameter is *SAME.

    You are not allowed to specify *EXCLUDE for the New data authorities (DTAAUT) parameter. Command parameter rules require that if *EXCLUDE is specified for the New data authorities parameter, a value of *NONE must be specified for the New object authorities parameter.

    If the desire is to revoke authority associated with the owner, group, or other user, *NONE may be specified as a value for the New data authorities parameter. In this case the specified user and the user's data authorities are removed from the list of authorized users.

    QOPT does not maintain or honor a private authority list. An attempt to assign New data authorities to a user other than the owner, group, or other (*PUBLIC) is not allowed.

  2. QOPT does not maintain or honor a private authority list. An attempt to add a new user (option 1 from the WRKAUT display) and assign new data authorities to a user other than the owner, group, or other (*PUBLIC) is not allowed.

    Option 4 is not supported to remove the user from list of authorized users. Select and prompt (F4) option 2 for the user you with to remove. The New data authorities parameter (DTAAUT) must be set to *NONE and the New object authorities parameter (OBJAUT) must be set to (*SAME).
