RE: Documenting / Managing iSeries security

Michael,

Using authorization lists along with primary group and supplemental group
profiles is exactly what I intend to do.

It's just I have 8,500 objects and 387 user profiles.

I'd like an easier to use method of documenting and/or managing the design;
which authorization lists control which objects, which groups are on which
lists, and which users are in which groups.

Charles
