If your goal is to do something like:

  user.security.restrictions = NEW_UFLAG_SET;

then your example is close to what you'd want:

  const NEW_UFLAG_SET = UFLAG_C|UFLAG_D|UFLAG_E; // And so on

Note that you don't want quotes around the right operand, which would make it a
string instead of a bunch of numbers that you're OR-ing together.

This is kind of a flyswatter approach, which is probably what you want anyway. 
If you don't want to overwrite the user's entire flag set, it's also possible
to add a single flag:

  user.security.restrictions |= UFLAG_C;

or unset a single flag:

  user.security.restrictions &=~ UFLAG_C;

Various other things are possible.  For some information about these types of
