Kernel Part 3 - Modifying File Access Permissions    ICR (4145)

The Legacy Software Shut Down patch will convert the
IFCAP, Engineering (AEMS/MERS), and Equipment/Turn-In Request packages to
Read-Only.  Users must not be able to edit via FileMan, files of the above
packages.  Although some restriction can be accomplished by the IRM removing
Write and Delete/Purge permissions to application namespaced globals, some
Engineering files still store data in the ^DIC global, whose protection can
not be changed by this patch. In addition, as a temporary workaround for
Prosthetics during the initial deployment of CoreFLS at VAMC Bay Pines, the
protection of the IFCAP ^PRC global can not be modified so access to files
stored in this global has to be controlled via VA FileMan or Kernel Part 3
setups.  This request concerns sites that have implemented the Kernel Part 3
access controls.

Specifically, this request asks that PRCL namespaced code be permitted to
$Order() through the AFOF cross reference in the NEW PERSON file (#200) in
order to identify individuals with access to the files of interest and the
internal number of the accessible file multiple entry.  It is further
requested that the software be permitted to extract via a supported FileMan
API, the current access values in case they are needed later. They will be
stored in the LEGACY SOFTWARE SHUT DOWN file (#449.1).  It is requested that
the software be permitted to file via a supported FileMan API, '0' (NO) for
DATA DICTIONARY ACCESS, DELETE ACCESS, LAYGO ACCESS, and WRITE ACCESS to the
files of these packages.  Finally, in the highly unlikely situation that users
need to temporarily resume using these legacy packages, rather than CoreFLS
for their business activities, it is requested that the software be permitted
to file via a supported FileMan API, the original values back into the
ACCESSIBLE FILE multiple of the NEW PERSON entries that were modified during
the shut down.
