SYSTEM.SPECAUTH lists all users and authorization
groups and the special authorities they have been
granted. Because a user must be granted the special
authority CONNECT before being able to access the DBEnvironment,
every user or group that has CONNECT authority to the DBEnvironment
is listed.
ALLBASE/SQL updates
SYSTEM.SPECAUTH when processing a GRANT or REVOKE statement
specifying a special authority,
or when dropping a group with special authority.
SYSTEM.SPECAUTH, along with SYSTEM.COLAUTH, SYSTEM.INSTALLAUTH, SYSTEM.MODAUTH, SYSTEM.PROCAUTH,
SYSTEM.SPACEAUTH, SYSTEM.SPACEDEFAULT, and SYSTEM.TABAUTH, 
contains the security scheme for the DBEnvironment.
CATALOG.SPECAUTH is identical in format to SYSTEM.SPECAUTH; it permits users without DBA authority or SELECT authority on SYSTEM.SPECAUTH to examine rows to which they have access.
