>Why not design an ILE service program, 

But herein lies the problem, what is the service program checking? There are
three major parts to the authentication system, who, what and where.

Who being the user
What being the action (view, edit, delete, add note, change status, etc.)
Where being the row (protocol 8, attachment 47, etc.)

Then of course there are several paths of inheritance where someone doesn't
have explicit rights to a row, but inherits his/her rights because they are
"associated" with the row (product manager, VP Product, etc.)

True. But the specific business model is Institutional Review Boards, the
bodies responsible for human-subject safety in clinical trials, so it's
complex already (Can anyone say HIPAA? <G>)
