Default Security for database - user accounts and log on

What are your concerns? If all the users can have access to the data, but
non-users shouldn't, then password protecting the FE and BE could be good
enough.

However if you only want the users to see some of the data; or be able to
only enter or edit records, but not delete (for example); or messing with the
design of the tables orqueries, then you need to implement User Level
Security or you could just password protect the BE and not tell the users.
