We used to do something like this a long time ago when we had an active ACF2 DDB.
You would have to setup your ACF2 system as if it were part of an ACF2 DDB with your system being the only node in the system. Then you can use the LIDMOD exit to alter anyhting in the LID at record retrieval time. As I rememeber, and it was quite a long time ago, the LIDMOD exit affects the instorage copy of the LID so you can grant special priviledges or take them away and not affect the actual record on the databse. Also, this was several releases back of ACF2. Back then the exit did get control for all of the LIDS retrieved, even though the manual makes it sound like it only for LIDS traversing the DDB net.
