Chapter 6 Managing Permissions to Objects : Task A: Identify an Object

Task A: Identify an Object
Because explicit permissions are granted at an individual object level, you must identify the object that you require. Also, because object names are unique only within an object type, you must also identify the object type of the object on which you are granting permissions.
Methods Available to Identify an Object
There are two ways to identify an object on the menu:
Both methods are described in the following sections.
Typing in the Object Name
If you know the name and type of object that you are specifying permissions for, complete the following steps:
1.
The object you name must exist and you must either own it or have control permission to it. If the object is a table, the table must be defined, although it can be empty of data.
2.
3.
This displays a screen similar to the example shown in Specify Protection Screen.
Selecting From a List
To display a list of objects and select from the list, complete the following steps:
1.
2.
Select an object type by typing an S on the line command field beside the object type.
3.
This transfers your selected object type and return you to the Security Management main menu.
4.
This displays a list of all objects of the selected type.
5.
Select an object by typing an S in the line command area beside the object name.
6.
This transfers your selected object’s name and returns you to the main menu.
7.
This displays a screen similar to the one shown in Specify Protection Screen below.
Specify Protection Screen
Use the Specify Protection screen, shown below, to specify protection for a table object type. Each object type (library, report, screen, and table) has its own Specify Protection screen. The layout of this screen is similar for each object type, except that you can also specify logging of accesses to table objects. Refer to Task D: Logging Accesses to a Table for more information.
