That's pretty much the best thing I've come up with. I "think" I could do it, but management doesn't think it's worth it right now.

So you are wanting to list only SYSCATALOG rows where the user has authority to know of the table that the row references. Right?

Somehow you need to obtain a table of objects that the current user has access to, either by specific UserID, Authorization list or by User Profile Authorities and membership in a Group Profiles and such.

Then join this list to the SYSCATALOG on object and you will have your list of objects that the user has actually got permission to see.

It isn't pretty. If someone has a better solution, I'd be interested in hearing it.
