HI dba man, I made my own security system by making database users and giving them synonyms to access the owners objects,also I created public synonyms for the objects .Then I created roles and assigned them to menu items in the main menu and sub-menus.After creating the user (in a form I developed myself,)I made another form to give certain functions(forms) to different users,and in this form I grant the roles accordingly. If this solution seems ok with you,let me know,I 'll give you more tips and tricks. By the way,the system is secured and the customer is satisfied.
