This is exactly how ADSM works. I haven't found a reference that
says explicitly that this is how it works, but check out p. 244-248
in the ADSM R2 UNIX User's Guide and Reference where it talks
about authorizing other users to restore or retrieve your files
and restoring or retrieving other users' files. It implies there
that users can only get to files they own unless other users
explicitly give them access to the other users' files. And I
know it works this way on our unix systems: by default you can
only access your own files.
