Determine Whether to Accept or Change Default Protection

In reading an expansion table, you can identify possible tasks for the expansion objects by examining their default protection.

The following table shows the decision table for changing scoping object default protection:

If the expansion object shows this default protection ...	Then keep the scoping object's default protection (Modify) to ...	Or change the scoping object's protection to ...
Modify	Modify the expansion object	Delete the expansion object Access the expansion object Read the expansion object
Access	Reference the expansion object (build an association to it)	Read the expansion object
Read	Read the expansion object	N/A
Delete (relatively few items)	Delete the expansion object	N/A

The following examples suggest how to approach interpreting the default protection column (the last column) of the expansion tables.
