Access ULS?

I was referred to this newsgroup from microsoft.public.access, where I
started this topic:
My "job" for this summer is to work on an Access database to track
information about first responders or people with skills that could be
useful in a crisis. The catch is, my goal is to not have to enter that
information myself. What I'm supposed to be doing is creating a way for
people to get into the database and access only their own record in the
table of people, and then having one or more "administrator" sign-in
accounts that have full access. My current server hosting is running
Linux,
so I'd be stuck with mySQL, but I may be able to get a Windows hosted
package if I need to. Is there any way this can be done?

I got this response:
If you were to use Access mdb as a backend, one of the ways to handle this
to implement the Access User Level Security (ULS) and use RWOP queries.
Access ULS is not for the faint of heart, you would need to invest
significant time to do it correctly. Browse the ms-access security for
more
information.

If you were to use a back end other than Access, you would obviously have
to
learn how to implement this within the chosen backend. Each back end has
its
own way of implementing what you're asking for.

Can I get help with this feature for an Access database? (I don't think my
Office XP MOS certs covered this...)
