I can only speak to generators which were added a long time ago. At that time, InterBase had two security models - a permissive mode that assumed all usage and allowed the administrator to restrict access, and the beginning of the SQL model which was used only to the extent it was defined in the standard, which didn't recognize generators. So all access was allowed to generators by default. I guess if somebody had asked, we'd have added the ability to restrict access. Adding SQL style permissions will require some thought, since nobody has granted all rights to all on generators and suddenly restricting access to them will be a serious nuisance.
