VMS Help RUN, Process, Qualifiers, /AUTHORIZE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

       /AUTHORIZE
       /NOAUTHORIZE (default)

    Requires IMPERSONATE privilege.

    When the image to be executed is the system login image
    (LOGINOUT.EXE), this qualifier searches the user authorization
    file (UAF) to validate a detached process. The /NOAUTHORIZE
    qualifier creates a detached process that runs under the control
    of the command interpreter.

    When you specify the /AUTHORIZE qualifier, quotas are derived
    from the user authorization file (UAF) record of the process'
    owner. Any qualifiers to the RUN command that specify other
    quotas are ignored in favor of the UAF quotas.

    When you specify the /NOAUTHORIZE qualifier, quotas are derived
    from the system parameters that set process quota default limits
    (parameters prefixed with PQL_D).

    Specify the /AUTHORIZE qualifier if you want the login image
    to check the UAF whenever a detached process is created. The
    process-permanent files specified by the /INPUT and /OUTPUT
    qualifiers are made available to the command interpreter for
    input and output.
