Access Security
The Jet database engine employs a user level security system. In a manner similar to Windows NT and NetWare network security, the objects themselves do not have passwords assigned, but have permissions granted to user and group accounts. Once validated, a user will have the authority to do whatever is authorized by the permissions granted to the user account or to any group of which the user is a member. This permits an administrator to manage a very granular set of security attributes where, for example, an individual user may have the authority to read but not write data. Although the security model does not have the ability to assign column level permissions, through the use of queries and the "run with owner permissions" attribute, you can effectively handle permissions at the row and column level for data.
