From the ArcMap help, it states the following reason for using a feature dataset: "To organize data access based on database privileges Sometimes, users organize data access privileges using feature datasets. All feature classes contained within a feature dataset have the same access privileges. For example, users might need to use more than one feature dataset to segment a series of related feature classes to account for differing access privileges between users. Each group has editing access to one of the feature datasets and its feature classes, but no editing access for the others." I need to secure feature classes and tables inside a geodatabase.  I was going to use a Feature Dataset as a container since I could set the permissions at the Feature Dataset level.  Also, my data differs by spatial reference per dataset.  Apparently, I cannot add a table to a feature dataset.  I have two tables which I need to secure with the Feature Classes in the Feature Dataset.  Are there any options? Thanks. ... View more
