Authorization Attributes

An authorization attribute is set in the user record in the database and permits the user to do things that an ordinary user cannot do. The two kinds of authorization attributes are global and group. Each global authorization attribute permits the user to perform certain types of functions on any record in the database. A group authorization attribute permits the user to perform certain types of functions within one specified group. The functions and the limits of each global and group authorization attribute are described in the following sections.
