| *USRCLS | Special authorities are granted to this user
based on the user class (USRCLS) field in the user profile and the security
level (QSECURITY) system value. If *USRCLS is specified, no additional special
authorities can be specified for this user. If you specify *USRCLS when you create or change a user profile, the system puts the correct special authorities in the profile as if you had entered them. When you display profiles, you cannot tell whether special authorities were entered individually or entered by the system based on the user class. Table 1 shows the default special authorities for each user class. |
| *NONE | No special authority is granted to this user. |
| special-authority-name | Specify one or more special authorities for the user. |
