Protection for Scoping Objects

User requests protection on a scoping object when defining a subset.
User checks out the subset from the Host Encyclopedia to the toolset.
During a subset checkout, the software looks at the protection that is requested for the scoping object and checks the Host Encyclopedia to see whether anyone has already checked out the object.
If the scoping object is not checked out, the software usually grants the protection level requested. (See an exception in the following table.)

The following table shows subsetting protection that is granted to available scoping objects:
