Re: Authority on an IFS file

PUBLIC would have to be *AUTL for the Authorization List to be read. PUBLIC *EXCLUDE stops the authority search right there if the user doesn't have specific access to object.

I have an IFS file with *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE but it also has an AUTL with
*PUBLIC *ALL. A user is getting an error saying they can't access it. I thought the AUTL
overrode the file's authority. Does *PUBLIC have authority to it or not.
