OPTION=HIDDEN Indicates that this ACE should be changed only by the application that adds it. Although the HIDDEN option is valid for any ACE type, its intended use is to hide application ACEs. The ACL editor displays the ACE only to show its relative position within the ACL, not to facilitate editing of the ACE. Unless you have the SECURITY privilege, you cannot display a hidden ACE with the DCL command DIRECTORY/ACL. You cannot display a hidden ACE with the DCL commands SHOW SECURITY or DIRECTORY/SECURITY, and you cannot modify or delete a hidden ACE with the SET SECURITY command. To create a hidden ACE, an application can invoke the $SET_SECURITY system service.
