This section describes how to grant Authorization to individual users or to a group of users on a distribution list. It covers the following topics:
Every defined object in Entire Output Management is associated with an Authorization List for that object. Authorization can be granted to an individual user or to a group of users in a distribution list.
The Authorization List for an object contains user IDs and/or the names of distribution lists. Each user ID or distribution list can have a different access level to that object.
The Authorization List can be modified by:
the Owner of the object,
a user who was granted the Owner option,
a user in a distribution list that was granted the Owner option.
For more information on how to define users in Entire Output Management, see the section Defining a User in the System Administration documentation.

AU next to the object for which you want to
authorize user access.
