[Peter Ramsebner]

Hi group,

i have created my own mdw, admin has password and is not in admin group. the
users group does not have the open/run permission.

It seems that all works fine, but it's possible to open the mdb with the
standard system.mdw with all permissions!

Why?

Thanks for help

Peter

Hi Peter.

Hi group,

i have created my own mdw, admin has password and is not in admin group.
the users group does not have the open/run permission.

It seems that all works fine, but it's possible to open the mdb with the
standard system.mdw with all permissions!

Why?

Because you missed one or more steps in the securing process. Did you
remove permissions for the users group to the *database* object?

Likely because the Admin user still owns all the objects. It is essential
that you follow every step exactly or you won't have a secure mdb. Some

Security Whitepaper

Although the whitepaper is old, it contains information to help you
understand security.
