About ownership of database objects (ADP)

Note  The information in this topic applies only to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).

Each database object is owned by either a user or a role. If the owner is a role, the object is co-owned by every user belonging to that role.

Each object also has privileges associated with it. A privilege grants a particular authority to an object for either an individual user or for all users belonging to a particular role.

Depending on the privileges defined in the database, you can view objects that you do not own. For example, you can include on a database diagram an object owned by another user. When such an object appears on a database diagram or in the Table Designer, it is labeled with the owner name as well as the object name.
