Authorizing a user or group using System i Navigator

Some users might need specific authority to an object. You can grant specific authority to a user or group using System i® Navigator.

To authorize a user or group to an object, follow these steps:

  1. From System i Navigator, expand your system > Databases.
  2. Expand the database that you want to work with.
  3. Navigate until the object for which you want to edit permissions is visible.
  4. Right-click the object for which you want to add permissions, and click Permissions.
  5. In the Permissions window, click Add.
  6. In the Add Users and Groups window, either specify or select one or more users or groups.
  7. Click OK to close the Add Users and Groups window.
    This adds one or more users or groups to the authorities list.
  8. Click OK to close the Permissions window.
Note: The user or group is given the default authority to the object. You can change a user's authority to one of the types defined by the system or you can customize the authority.

You can also remove and customize authority using System i Navigator.
