CustomTools Profile level permissions for the database owner:

The administrator of the database and database profiles has a full access to the all database profiles. The administrator is also allowed to change any settings of any profile.

The user who creates the database, gets the owner rights automatically for the database and the default profile created on the database creation. The owner is allowed to specify the user rigths for all other users and for all user groups in the database.

Owner rights = Full access to the created database and all of its profiles.

All users having the Manage Users permission are allowed to change their own user rights.

The CustomTools database has always one administrator user called Admin. The Admin user cannot be removed from the database and its user rights could not be modified. The Admin user has the full control into the database and to all profiles in the database.
