[Mary Koetting <Mary_Koetting@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to make sure that none of the programmers update pro
duction libraries. We are all running under a group profile call PGMR with a
no special authority.  
Can I use GRTOBJAUT in the following manner to give them *read only rights?
I don't want them to be able to update interactively or by executing a
program.
Thanks in advance and if anyone has a book/article that explains authority
in simplistic terms I would greatly appreciate the reference. 
 
                       Grant Object Authority (GRTOBJAUT)
