LOAD authority
The LOAD authority, in previous releases available only with DB2 for OS/390, is now available for the entire DB2 Universal Database family. Users granted LOAD authority can run the LOAD utility without the need for SYSADM or DBADM authority. This allows users to perform more DB2 functions, and gives database administrators more granular control over the administration of their database.

USE OF TABLESPACE authority
The USE OF TABLESPACE authority, in previous releases available only with DB2 for OS/390, is now available for the entire DB2 Universal Database family. USE OF TABLESPACE authority allows users to create tables only in the tablespaces that they have been granted access to and provides the administrators with more control over their database.
