The special value *PUBLIC, when used on a rule, means that the rule applies to any User lacking a specific rule. When used as a subset or selection parameter, *PUBLIC means to select all such rules for display or printing.
An icon indicates a Location Rule. The location is the name of the location for which authority is being specified. The location can be an SNA device, an IP address, an IP Address Group, or the special value '*ALL'.
