Using Table- and Field-level Security

After you have designated yourself and others as security administrators, be sure that the user ID of each security administrator is included in all the permissions lists for the tables and fields for the database. For example, if you assign user ID sjones as a security administrator, but sjones is not included in the permissions for the customer table, sjones will not be able to modify permissions for the customer table. Any attempt to do so results in an error message “Invalid access to change security for customer table.” Thus, to modify table and field permissions, a user ID must be designated as a security administrator and be included in each of the individual table and field permissions.

For information about designating a security administrator, see the "Designating a Security Administrator" section later in this chapter.
