                               ABSTRACT
                               --------

IMU is a Rights Identifier Management  utility  program  that  permits
authorized,  non-priviledged,  users  to  "Grant" and "Revoke" certain
Rights Identifiers to/from other users via an "Authorize" like set  of
commands.

For example:

  IMU> GRANT/ID identifier username


IMU therefore allows the authorized users to manage their own  generic
Rights   Identifiers   (such   as   application  or  project  oriented
identifiers) specifically set  up  for  them  by  the  System  Manager
without needing access to the "Authorize" utility.

Users may optionally be granted the ability to authorize  other  users
to grant and revoke the Rights Identifiers under their control via the
ACL editor.
