Yes, thank you John.  That certainly opens up some possibilities.

Subject: EXTERNAL: Re: Cell-level visibility use case

An off the top of my head example, which may not be valid, but seems reasonable 
to me.

You have one piece of information, HIPAA related. So data gets tagged for 
insurance, doctors, and nurses lets say. But along comes a researcher who wants 
to do data mining on medical records. Some users may consent, others may not. 
Those who consent can get their data tagged for insurance, doctors, nurses, and 
researchers. And if we want to get more detailed, maybe there's different types 
of research going on. Perhaps researcher1 is looking at heart conditions 
relative to ancestry whereas researcher2 is looking at diabetes in relation to 
income. A person may consent to one, but not the other, and then have their 
data tagged for researcher1, but not necessarily researcher2.

Hope this example sheds some light on the possibilities with this visibility 
design.

All,
                I'm trying to wrap my head around the cell-level security 
model.  When is it more useful than row or column level?  Is it useful with 
regards to analytics or machine learning, or only for row by row manual access? 
 I'd really appreciate any examples of where it is used in an unclassified 
domain (perhaps medical?)

Thanks,
Tejay
