Assigning authority and ownership to new objects

You can assign authority and ownership to new objects on the system.

The system uses several values to assign authority and ownership when a new object is created on the system:
  • Parameters on the CRTxxx command
  • The QCRTAUT system value
  • The CRTAUT value of the library
  • Values in the user profile of the creator
Figure 1 through Figure 4 show several examples of how these values are used:

Command Used to Create Object: 
CRTDTAARA DTAARA(CUSTLIB/DTA1)

or
