List Users Authorized to Object (QSYLUSRA) API


  Required Parameter Group:

1 Qualified user space name Input Char(20)
2 Format name Input Char(8)
3 Qualified object name Input Char(20)
4 Object type Input Char(10)
5 Error code I/O Char(*)

  Optional Parameter Group:

6 ASP device Input Char(10)

  Default Public Authority: *USE

  Threadsafe: Yes

The List Users Authorized to Object (QSYLUSRA) API puts a list of users privately authorized to an object, including an authorization list, into a user space. The information returned is the authority as it exists for the object. Any authority the process has to the object through its group or adopted authority is not included. *PUBLIC authority to the object is also returned in the first list entry of the user space.

If the object is a database file, an indication of whether the file has field authorities is returned.

This API provides information similar to that provided by the Display Authorization List (DSPAUTL) command or the Display Object Authority (DSPOBJAUT) command.

Required Parameter Group

Qualified user space name
INPUT; CHAR(20)

The name of the existing user space used to return the list of authorized users to the object. The first 10 characters specify the user space name, and the second 10 characters specify the library.

You can use these special values for the library name:

*CURLIB The current library is used to locate the user space. If there is no current library, QGPL (general purpose library) is used.
*LIBL The library list is used to locate the user space.

Format name
INPUT; CHAR(8)

The name of the format used to list authorized users.

You can specify this format:

USRA0100 Each entry contains the user name and authority values.

Qualified object name
INPUT; CHAR(20)

The name of the object for which the list of authorized users is returned. The first 10 characters specify the object name, and the second 10 characters specify the library.

You can use these special values for the library name:

*CURLIB The current library is used to locate the object. If there is no current library, QGPL (general purpose library) is used.
*LIBL The library list is used to locate the object.

Object type
INPUT; CHAR(10)

The type of object for which the list of authorized users is returned.

Error code
I/O; CHAR(*)

The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error code parameter.


Optional Parameter Group

ASP device
INPUT; CHAR(10)

The name of the auxiliary storage pool (ASP) device in which to search for the library that contains the object.

The valid values are:

* All ASPs associated with the job will be searched. This is the default value if the parameter is not specified.
*SYSBAS The system ASP and all basic user ASPs will be searched.
*ALL All ASPs that are currently available will be searched.
ASP device name The specified ASP will be searched.

If *CURLIB or *LIBL is specified for the library then the ASP device parameter must be specified as *.

Field Descriptions

ASP device name of library. The auxiliary storage pool (ASP) device name where the object's library is stored. If the object's library is in the system ASP or one of the basic user ASPs, this field contains *SYSBAS.

ASP device name of object. The auxiliary storage pool (ASP) device name where the object is stored. If the object is in the system ASP or one of the basic user ASPs, this field contains *SYSBAS.

Authority value. The user's authority to the object.

This field contains one of the following values:

*ALL The user has all object (operational, management, existence, alter, and reference) and data (read, add, update, delete, and execute) authorities to the object.
*CHANGE The user has object operational and all data authorities to the object.
*USE The user has object operational and data read and execute authorities to the object.
*EXCLUDE The user has none of the object or data authorities to the object, or authorization list management authority to the authorization list.
*AUTL The public authority for the object comes from the public authority on the authorization list securing the object. This value can only be returned if there is an authorization list securing the object and the authorized user is *PUBLIC.
USER DEF The user has some combination of object and data authorities that do not relate to a special value. The individual authorities for the user should be checked to determine what authority the user has to the object.

Authorization list. The name of the authorization list securing the object. If there is no authorization list securing the object, this field is *NONE.

Authorization list management. Whether the user has this authority to the object. If the user has the authority, this field is Y. If not, this field is N. This field is only valid if the object type is *AUTL.

Data add. Whether the user has this authority to the object. If the user has the authority, this field is Y. If not, this field is N.

Data delete. Whether the user has this authority to the object. If the user has the authority, this field is Y. If not, this field is N.
