Giving users Design environment access
All users have access to the Application mode. However, you can restrict access to the Design mode. To do this, you simply need to select a group from the Design Access drop-down list on the Security page of the Database Settings dialog box.
In this case, only users belonging to this group as well as the Designer can modify the database structure. The Designer always has access to the Design environment, even if they do not explicitly belong to the design access group.
All other users are ordinary users. When a user opens the database, it opens in the Application environment. The access of a user is limited by their group membership.
