For batch queues, specifies the working set quota for
batch jobs executed in the queue. For output queues,

The value set by this qualifier overrides the value
defined in the UAF of any user submitting a job to the
queue.
Section 14.6.4
14.6.1 Controlling Access to Queues
Queues are permanent security objects. They are stored in the system queue
database together with their security profiles.
As with a file or directory, you can use UIC-based or ACL-based protection to
control access to a queue.
Refer to the OpenVMS Guide to System Security for detailed information about
establishing system security.
14.6.1.1 Understanding UIC-Based Queue Protection
UIC-based protection restricts the jobs and the users who have access to a queue.
Operations that apply to queues are controlled by UIC-based protection in the
same way that access to other protected objects (such as files) is controlled.
When you create a queue, the queue is assigned an owner UIC and a protection
code. The default owner is [SYSTEM], but you can specify another owner with
the /OWNER_UIC qualifier.
The queue class provides the following default UIC-based security profile:
System:Manager,Owner:Delete,Group:Read,World:Submit
Jobs are assigned an owner UIC equal to the UIC of the process that submitted
the job, unless the job was submitted with the /USER qualifier. Each job in a
queue (and each operation that is performed on a queue) is checked against the
UIC of the owner, the protection of the queue, and the privileges of the requester.
All operations are checked as follows:
Operations that
apply to... Are checked against...
Jobs The read and delete protection specified for the queue and the
owner UIC of the job.
Queues The submit and manage protection specified for the queue and the
owner UIC of the queue.
The following table lists the types of access that the queue class supports:
