Authority (AUT)

Specifies the authority being reset or taken away from the users specified in the USER parameter. We can specify values for AUT as a list of specific and general authorities in any order, where the general authorities can be:

*REMOVE, which deletes the profile. It is not the same as *ALL, because *ALL leaves the profile in existence with no authorities. *REMOVE cannot be specified with user QMQMADM unless the object is a generic profile.

*ALL, which confers all authorities to the specified users.

*ALLADM, which confers all of *ADMCHG, *ADMCLR, *ADMCRT, *ADMDLT, *ADMDSP, *CTRL and *CTRLX.

*ALLMQI, which confers all of *ALTUSR, *BROWSE, *CONNECT, *GET, *INQ, *PUT, and *SET.
