Releasing and Securing File Security 

Sometimes other users need temporary access to your files.  For example,
individual members of a project team might keep their own records of the
hours they worked on different aspects of the project.  At the end of the
month, the project manager compiles the individual reports into a team
report.  To compile the team report, the manager might copy the team
members' time record files into a single file.  To do so, the manager
needs temporary access to the team members' time record files.

Give all users temporary access to a file by releasing that file.
Releasing a file removes all access restrictions from it.  Releasing and
securing a file can be executed only by the creator of that file.

Release a file with the RELEASE command.  For example:

     RELEASE MYHOURS.SMITH.PROJECTX

The file remains released until it is secured with the SECURE command.
For example:

     SECURE MYHOURS.SMITH.PROJECTX

When default file access restrictions are in effect, general users can
release and secure files only in their logon group and account.
