stored procedures/security

First off I am a rookie at Sql Server. Ok let's give this a try. My
company has bought a new software package called Viewpoint. It's On
Sql Server and written in VP. We do not have access to the code.
There is a option in the software package called "Application
Security". When this is clicked you are unable to access the Viewpoint
Database from an outside application. Since I can't get to the code I
have no idea how this feature works.

I would like to keep the "Application Securty" ON so no one can access
the Viewpoint Database from an outside application but I would like to
write my own outside application where I can access the Viewpoint
application tables while the Application Security in ON. Does anyone
know what I am talking about? I know it is not very clear and I am
working with limited information, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you have sysadmin access to the server or db_securityadmin in the
database then you can add logins and/or users for your own application
as required.

The "Application Security" option probably turns on the use of an
application role rather than Integrated Security based on the user's
domain login. In principle that shouldn't stop an administrator adding
other user access. You may want to consult the vendor's tech support on
this first though.
