Access User Level Security is not affected by the fact that you will
distribute your files on a CD. Copying from CD to a hard disk often means
you'll have to reset the Read-Only flag, but other than that Access security
is not affected.

Now if the "CD" part of your question was incidental and you are really
asking "How do I set up security?" I'm afraid that's beyond the scope of a
simple answer in these newsgroups. Access security has a steep learning
curve. My suggestion is to visit one of the "step by step" web pages
like...

....and experiment on COPIES of your files until you are comfortable with it.
