Answer / anu

Object security restrict access to specific objects in a
project, for example if you have a user or group of users
who you do not want access to a particular Namespace then
you can remove access to that Namespace for that user or
group of users. Objects which can have security applied
include namespaces, query subjects, query items, filters
and folders. You can either Allow (make visible) or Deny
(not visible) access to these objects.
