Does Access have a backend Admin area where you can set permissions to add and delete users while alo giving them permissions to access and do different things on forms like setting permissions on NT 4.0

Or do I need to do this from our operating system end? I just though Access would have these features by now. My last application design was in Office 97

Any help is appreciated.
 
A user that is a member of the Admins group can add and delete users. To
set permissions, they would need administer permissions on objects.

You should be able to set up the specific groups needed and assign
permissions to the groups. Then this user would not need to assign
permissions, just create users and assign them to a group(s).

You can make them a member of the Admins group, without giving them
administer permissions on the database, by distributing a workgroup file
that is not the same as the workgroup file used to secure it with.

Details are in the security FAQ; and by the way, you could do this in Access
97 as well.
