When you add a filter using the RACMAP MAP command, you map the filter to an existing RACF® user ID. In addition to creating (or updating) an IDIDMAP profile, the RACMAP command also updates the profile of the RACF user ID, creating a mapping association between the IDIDMAP profile and the user profile. When you delete the filter, RACMAP deletes (or updates) the IDIDMAP profile containing the filter and updates the user profile of the mapped user ID to remove the mapping association.

If your installation implements RACF remote sharing facility (RRSF), see RRSF considerations for distributed identity filters for information about enabling automatic direction of application updates for the RACMAP command to ensure that these profile changes are synchronized across nodes.
