all RDBMS provide some mechanism for internal access control; each connecting process has a "user id" and not all user id's are able to see all tables or all fields of a given table. Privileges are similar to file protection bits in a file system but more elaborate: read, write, update, delete are the basic set, and there are many more in some RDBMS.

The process of limiting access to the resources of an IS only to authorized users, programs, processes, or other systems. System-specific policy is often implemented through the use of access controls. For example, it may be a policy decision that only two individuals in an organization are authorized to run a check-printing program. Access controls are used by the system to implement (or enforce) this policy.
