I really don't try to ask questions where one isn't sure if the answer 'yes' means yes or no, but I do phrase them that way at times.
Well, this is a good thing then..if I understand your no. Let me try to phrase it this way. I can then create an installation where some users will only be able to access resources within Base files pro grammatically? Here this includes the ability to use tables and query as data sources via the data browser window. But it also means that I could access the Base file from custom scripts also. So for example a user might need to run a set of reports, this could be accomplished by building a custom menu / tool bar and calling a script that launched those reports. This same user however would have no way to edit those reports in edit mode, even if they Base file itself is not 'read only'? Do I have the full effect of it now?

Ehm - no and no. It introduced a configuration option which /completely/ removes the "Edit database file" from the context menu in the data sources view (aka data source browser). Together with tampering with some other configuration files, this allows you to effectively seal all entry points (at least the ones available in the UI) to Base' application main window.
