- While access to tables in the view is controlled entirely by permissions
- on the view, functions called by the view are checked independently.
+ Access to tables referenced in the view is determined by permissions of
+ the view owner. However, functions called in the view are treated the
+ same as if they had been called directly from the query using the view.
+ Therefore the user of a view must have permissions to call all functions
+ used by the view.
