| Access level conflict | Resolution |
| A name is listed in an ACL individually and as a member of a group | The access level assigned to the individual name takes precedence over the access level for the group, even if the individual access level is lower than the group level. |
| A name is included in two or more groups | The name receives the access of the group with the highest access. |
| A name appears in an ACL and in access lists associated with forms, views, or sections | The ACL controls database access; design element access lists refine this access to a lower level. For example, if a user has Author access to a database but is not listed in the access list for a form in the database, the user cannot use the form to create a document. |
