Authority for New Objects (QCRTAUT)
The Authority for New Objects (QCRTAUT) system value specifies the public authority for a newly created object.
The QCRTAUT system value is used to determine the public authority
for a newly created object if the following conditions are met:
- The create authority (CRTAUT) for the library of the new object is set to *SYSVAL.
- The new object is created with public authority (AUT) of *LIBCRTAUT.
Note: This
system value is a restricted value. See Security
system values for details on how to restrict changes to security system
values and a complete list of the restricted system values.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| *CHANGE | The public can change newly created objects. |
| *USE | The public may view, but not change, newly created objects. |
| *ALL | The public may perform any function on new objects. |
| *EXCLUDE | The public is not allowed to use new objects. |
- Recommended value:
- *CHANGE
The QCRTAUT system value is not used for objects created in directories in the enhanced file system.
Attention: Several IBM-supplied libraries,
including QSYS, have a CRTAUT value of *SYSVAL. If you change the QCRTAUT
system value to something other than *CHANGE, you might encounter problems
with signing on at new or automatically created devices. To avoid these problems
when you change QCRTAUT to something other than *CHANGE, make sure that all
device descriptions and their associated message queues have a PUBLIC authority
of *CHANGE. One way to accomplish this is to change the CRTAUT value for
library QSYS to *CHANGE from *SYSVAL.
