Re: LIBRARY/file security QUESTION

[Vanya Jovic <jovic@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

NO WAY. 

Your user profile would be able to "see" object description or member
description of logical, but it won't be able to retrieve data from library
in which physical file resides unles it has at least EXECUTE rights to
that library. It also has to have "READ" right to physical file.
