You maintain user-controlled data by using the edit command that is a sub-command of ssadm.

When you need to look at or change a policy in some way like Move or Delete, you invoke the configuration editor and enter a series of commands that end with save and quit requests.

Note -

Be sure to save change commands, such as add, del, rename, renamereference, insert, replace, and move, before you quit. Run save just before the quit command to avoid accumulating too many policy versions.
