After chasing my tail a bit, I think I failed to expalin my dilemma better. The database in question is an MS SQL Express DB and the user accounts are not necessarily stored in a table within the DB, they are more like DB system accounts (i.e. stored in SQLSERVER//Security// Logins). This is why I am still unsure that Auth and Acl might be able to solve the issue. Can you let me know if my task is still possible (i.e. given the original context). Thanks.
