Not that I know of, unless you have one of the ISV RACF admin products like
BETA88,  Vanguard, Consul/RACF (purchased by IBM, now Tivoli RACF admin).

That is one of the things I always liked about ACF2.  You just copy a userid,
or add a new one with the correct UID and everything works.  Every shop
I've ever been at (and I've been at a lot - especially when I was consulting),
it was always a battle after my userid was added.   A permit here, a permit
there and eventually I got everything I needed.
