View Security

Enabling views to secure by name gives greater control because it allows control of access to the precise set of tables, rows, and columns defined by a view. View security replaces security authorization checks on the individual tables referenced by a view with a check against the view entity itself. This allows the owner of the tables to restrict complete access to the tables but still permit a view of specific data to certain users. This feature is activated in the external security package.
