If a user can get to any layout with buttons/scripts on it, they can run
them.
However...you can write branching startup scripts that route users to
different layouts based on the group their password belongs to on login.
So a poweruser can go to the Menu with ALL the buttons, limited users go
to the Menu with just a few. (or one, if they're denied access, that one
button having a Quit script attached. ;) On each change of layout
within the db, you can also do that Status(CurrentGroups) check and
route them appropriately at that time. If you lock out the status bar,
or have NO layouts in your layout menu, users can't use that method to
get around your security. :)
