Restriction rules summary:
1. If the VHSGCONF is empty, any user can browse and reply to any prompt in all
environments.
2. If one of the VHSGCONF entries is for a specific user (for example,
PROD.BATCH). then only this entry will be used when the corresponding user logs
on.
3. If a user does not have a specific entry, the corresponding group entry (for
example, PROD.*) is used for the user.
