I have used access to specific members on SFS disks. If the user can
read the file and parse a specific item out of the first record, then
could do something special.

I was recently coding some execs that set up things like mdisk links and
certain 'privlages' for users within thier 'groups of responsibilty' ie
programmers can do programmer type functions supervisors can do
programming functions plus certain other supervisor functions etc.
As I was doing this I was thinking 'How many times over the past 30+
years have I done this same type of coding? There must be a better way
to identify these different groups than to have tables or files with
lists of names.' Then I had an idea this would be a lot easier if there
was a z/VM directory entry called USERDATA that would be freeform and
queryable ie Q UDATA. That way one could id a user any way he wanted to
and use or not use the values.
Does that make sense to anyone else?
Or is there something similiar already there that I have missed?
