   ADD                     Adds a user record to the SYSUAF and
                           corresponding identifiers to the rights
                           database.

   COPY                    Creates a new SYSUAF record that
                           duplicates an existing record.

   LIST                    Writes reports for selected UAF records to
                           a listing file, SYSUAF.LIS.

   MODIFY                  Changes values in a SYSUAF user record.

                           corresponding identifiers in the rights
                           database. The DEFAULT and SYSTEM records

                           characteristics of the old record.

   SHOW                    Displays reports for selected SYSUAF

usage summary

   The Authorize Utility (AUTHORIZE) is a system management tool
   that allows you to control access to the system and to allocate
   resources to users.

   Format

     RUN AUTHORIZE

   To invoke AUTHORIZE, set your process default device and directory
   to SYS$SYSTEM, and type RUN AUTHORIZE. To terminate AUTHORIZE,
   enter the EXIT command at the UAF> prompt, or press Ctrl/Z.

   To create a listing file of reports for selected UAF records,
   enter the LIST command at the UAF> prompt. For more information on
   listing reports, see the description of the LIST command.

   Use of the Authorize Utility requires write access to SYSUAF.DAT,
   NETPROXY.DAT, or RIGHTSLIST.DAT in the SYS$SYSTEM directory.
   Write access to these files is normally restricted to users with a
   system UIC or the SYSPRV privilege.
