Some commands that require the user to have *ALLOBJ special authority have
public *USE authority while others have public *EXCLUDE. Sometimes a
command will require a special authority only when some parameters are
used. You will not be able to get a list of commands that require specific
public authorities by looking at the command objects or their public
authorities.

If I needed to produce a list of commands that require a specific public
authority I would start with Appendix D from a PDF version of the Security
Reference manual and then use the FIND and FIND AGAIN functions of the
viewer to scan for the special authority. Most of the time you will find
the special authority only mentioned in a footnote following a table in the
appendix. Every command that uses that footnote will need the indicated
special authority.  I hope this helps.
