Let's say you have a group named Group1. If you assign Group1 to READ ONLY for this Schema, but leave <Everybody> set to Read/Write access, then Group1 would effectively get Read/Write access because they are included in the Everybody pseudo-group. That is what is meant by the READ ONLY setting would have no effect. If you want Group1 to be READ ONLY then you need to also check the READ/WRITE group to be sure they do not have access. Another way to look at it, is let's assume you have User1 who belongs to both Group1 and Group2. Then you assign Group1 to READ ONLY and Group2 to READ/WRITE for the schema applied to this table. Then you login as User1 whom belongs to both Group1 and Group2. In this situation the User1 would have READ/WRITE.
