Each object, such as a form or report,
has a specific set of permissions. The system administrator defines which permissions each user or
group of users has for each object. Users may belong to multiple groups, and they always inherit the
highest permission setting of any of the groups to which they belong.

Professional Database Development Part IV
For example, every table object has a set of permissions associated with it: Read Design, Modify
Design, Read Data, Update Data, Insert Data, Delete Data, and Administrator. (See Table 29-1, later
in this chapter, for a complete list of permissions and their meanings.) The database administrator
has the ability to assign or remove any or all of these permissions for each user or group of users in
the workgroup. Because the permissions are set at the object level, the administrator may give a user
the ability to read data from Table A, as well as read data from and write data to Table B, but prevent
the user from even looking at Table C.
