2 solutions grab me as being correct.
1) Create user groups and permissions in the database using the databases permissions set up... This is of course given that all of the users are "users" in the database. My guess though, is that the script is the only user.

2) Use binary data permissions and groups like in unix. You can have a column for each group if that seems necessary/prudent and binary permissions related to the "file"/executable. Groups could be established in a separate table by over user/group. This also obviously has no problems if a user needs to belong to multiple groups.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
