Object Management Authority

Users need object management authority to:

• Create a logical file with a keyed sequence access path (object management authority is required for the physical file referred to by the logical file).
• Grant and revoke authority. You can grant and revoke only the authority that you already have. (You must also have object operational authority to the file.)
• Change the file.
• Add members to the file. (The owner of the file becomes the owner of the new member.)
• Change the member in the file.
• Move the file.
• Rename the file.
• Rename a member of the file.
• Clear a member of the file. (Delete data authority is also required.)
• Initialize a member of the file. (Add data authority is also required to initialize with default records; delete data authority is required to initialize with deleted records.)
• Reorganize a member of the file. (All data authorities are also required.)
