If the user profile is a member of a group and OWNER(*USRPRF) is specified, the Group authority field controls what authority is given to the group profile for any objects created by this user.

Group authority can be specified only when GRPPRF is not *NONE and OWNER is *USRPRF. Group authority applies to the profile specified in the GRPPRF parameter. It does not apply to supplemental group profiles specified in the SUPGRPPRF parameter.
When the GRPAUT value is changed, the change takes effect the next time the user signs on or the next time a job swaps to the user profile using a profile handle or profile token obtained after the change has occurred.
Note: Using
the GRPAUT parameter with a value other than *NONE gives all other
users who are members of the group profile that is specified on the
GRPPRF parameter authority to objects created by this user.
| *NONE | No specific authority is given to the group profile when this user creates objects. |
| *ALL | The group profile is given all management and data authorities to any new objects the user creates. |
| *CHANGE | The group profile is given the authority to change any objects the user creates. |
| *USE | The group profile is given authority to view any objects the user creates. |
| *EXCLUDE | The group profile is specifically denied access to any new objects created by the user. |
