About Authorization

What is Authorization

You can execute a security statement if you have the required authorization. The required authorization is expressed in terms of the privilege or privileges a user must hold. This appears immediately preceding the syntax diagram for each security statement documented in the following chapters.

Holders of SYSADMIN

A user who holds SYSADMIN privilege is authorized to execute all security statements. SYSADMIN is identified as the required authorization in documentation of security statement syntax when it is the only privilege that qualifies the user to execute the statement.
