The problem with such a wish is that you would need to provide settings options
on a per-user basis for a single ODB file. That is not a trivial endeavour, and
is probably not supported by the ODF 1.3/1.4 standard.

As Robert has mentioned, it is easier to set up different files containing only
the required queries, forms, reports, etc, which are then made available to
only those persons requiring that set, e.g. via a corresponding file share or
making the file available in the user's own writable folder. 

For ODB files which connect to a server backend DB engine, rather than the
embedded kind, if additionally, you make the shared ODB file read-only on the
file share, you will prevent users from adding their own "variants" of the
forms, queries, reports to the file, but unfortunately not prevent them from
saving the file under a new name in their own readable/writable folder (unless
you have some permissions policy in place which prevents that). 

One might reasonably argue that it is not the LO project's remit to define file
management properties for the files it creates.
