Data authorities

You can use data authorities to limit user access to the data in files.

You need the following authorities to perform the associated operations:

Execute: Run a program or locate an object in a library.
Read: Open any file for input, compile a program using the file, or display the file description.
Add: Add new records to the file.
Update: Open a database file for update.
Delete: Open a database file for delete.

For files other than database and save files, the execute, the add, update, and delete authorities are ignored.
