VMS Help  —  CRTL  seteuid  Description
    If the process has the IMPERSONATE privilege, the seteuid
    function sets the process's effective user ID.

    An unprivileged process can set the effective user ID only if the
    euid argument is equal to either the real, effective, or saved
    user ID of the process.

    This function requires that long (32-bit) UID/GID support be
    enabled. See 32-Bit UID and GID Macro (Integrity servers, Alpha)
    for more information.

    See also getuid to know how UIC is represented.
