Ah! Yeah, old mainframes didn't have a GUI where you could check a box
for who could access a file. ;)
They sorta did, actually. (and still do)

Most 21st century (even many 20th century) operating systems have
things called user permissions, file system permissions, ACLs and
much more, to just mention a few.
MTS for one has them! I don't particularly understand it yet, but it
has them! MTS has user permissions that you can specify when
using the function to
modify the user database.
(If you're curious why I keep mentioning MTS...connect a tn3270 to
dev.gimme-sympathy.org port 3270.)
I smell a time sink! I'm not gonna do it! (right now)
