Syntax

grtwasaut [-profileName profile] {-user usrprf | -authlist authlist}
 {-dtaaut dataAuth | -objaut objectAuth} [-object path]
 [-recursive] [-verbose] [-help]

• -user, -authlist, or both

• -dtaaut, objaut, or both

Parameters

The following options are available for the grtwasaut command:

-profileName

This is an optional parameter. The value profile specifies the name of the profile to which you are granting authority. The default value is default.

-user

The value usrprf specifies the OS/400 user profile to which you are granting authority. To grant authority to multiple user profiles, specify all of the user profiles with a single -user parameter. Enclose the list of profiles in double quotation marks ("). For example, to grant authority to usrprf1 and usrprf2, specify -user "usrprf1 usrprf2". You must specify -user, -authlist, or both.

-authlist

The value authlist specifies the OS/400 authorization list to which you are granting authority. You must specify -user, -authlist, or both.

-dtaaut

The value dataAuth specifies the data authorities that you are granting to the user specified by the -user parameter. Valid values are none, rwx, rx, rw, wx, r, w, x, exclude, autl, and same. The value that you specify replaces the user's current data authorities to the object. You must specify -dtaaut, -objaut, or both. For more information on the values for this parameter, see the CHGAUT (Change Authority) command description.

-objaut

The value objAuth specifies the object authorities that you are granting to the user specified in the -user parameter. Valid values are none, all, objexist, objmgt, objalter, objref, and same. The value that you specify replaces the user's current object authorities to the object. You must specify -dtaaut, -objaut, or both. For more information on the values for this parameter, see the CHGAUT (Change Authority) command description.

-object

This is an optional parameter. The value path specifies the subdirectory or partially qualified object name to which you are granting authority. The profile root is prepended to the value to get the fully-qualified path. If you do not specify this parameter, the default value is the profile root. To grant authority to multiple objects, run the script for each object.

-recursive

This optional parameter specifies whether to grant authority to all subdirectories. If you do not specify this parameter, authority is granted only to the object specified with the -object parameter, or the profile root directory if the -object parameter is not specified. This parameter applies to all objects specified with -object parameters.

-verbose

This optional parameter turns on verbose messages, which can be helpful if you need to debug the script.

-help

This optional parameter displays the help message. If you specify this parameter, the script ignores all other parameters.
