Re: Security

[Jeff Carey <jeffreycarey@xxxxxxx>]

*USE at the library level will let a user pretty much do anything to an object 
in
that library that is not excluded by authority on that object.  One exception
I'vce found is the ability to add a member to a file, which requires *CHANGE at
the library level.

*USE on the object level only lets a user read data in a file - not change it.
Note that they could download the file to a PC (but couldn't upload & overlay).
So take this example:
Library authority *USE
FILE1  - *PUBLIC *USE   <- USER1 can read file
FILE2 - *PUBLIC *ALL <- USER1 can change data in file, but not add a member
FILE3 - *PUBLIC *ALL, USER1 *EXCLUDE <- USER1 cannot access file
