Object List Commands

Object lists make it easier to manage user permissions by allowing an administrator to assign user permissions via list of objects.

An entry in an object list is an “object type” and “object name” pair. Once an object list is created, object list names are used as arguments to user context commands (see User Commands) to give a user permission to access objects in the list.
