    Hello,

    I have an app that is secured, and I'd like to hide some
    of the tables. Most, though not all, of these tables I'd
    like some user groups to use. My question is, should I
    first secure the application and then change the tables'
    attribute to hidden? Is there some other way to change
    permissions on secured tables? And while I'm at it, is
    there any other implication to hiding tables that I
    should consider? Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.
