# Authorizing User Access to Objects

This section describes how to grant users access authorization to an object. It covers the following topics:

- Authorization List

- Authorization Options

## Authorization List

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 or distribution list can have a different access level to that object.

The authorization list can be modified by:

- an Entire Output Management administrator,

- 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 Users in the System Administration documentation.

## Authorization Options
