About the Relationship Between Object Security and Data Security

Users can be defined as a member of one or more of Security Groups to enforce the corresponding data security or object security. However, a more complex security model can be implemented by adding one group as a child group of another. For example, a Data Security Group can be added under an Object Security Group. As a result, a user needs only to be added to the Security Group on the lowest level to inherit the union of all Securities Groups above.
